      > A recent survey by Junior Achievement conducted by the research group, Engine, showed that 9 percent of girls between ages 13 to 17 are interested in careers in STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — which was conducted from April 16-21 to about 1,004 teenagers. > This is down from 11 percent from a similar survey in 2018. Teen boys’ interest in STEM careers increased to 27 percent, up from 24 percent in 2018. https://www.govtech.com/education/Female-Interest-in-STEM-Education-and-Careers-Decreasing.html https://www.govtech.com/education/Female-Interest-in-STEM-Ed...
