Very welcome. We need to change things, and the sooner in their lives, the more difference it makes.
Back in the 90's, I was an engineering student at Berkeley. I was bored eating lunch outside one day by the engr bldgs, & decided to pass the time by counting the gender of just those folks passing by. It was consistently 25% female. That includes non-engineers who were going up to the coops.
And, this is Berkeley. Nobody's going to (rightly) accuse them of anything other than liberal.
When your inputs are 75% male, your outputs are too. You can't put the blame downstream like that, & can't change it downstream as easily.
It's orders of magnitude easier to change this from childhood, early.
I ended up marrying a fellow engineer from Berkeley, & we are raising both our son & daughter to be passionate, curious builders & makers & coders. You don't just use the world, you adjust it & improve it.
