Science Cheerleaders are Female Role Models
July 25th, 2012 by Rich Feller
www.sciencecheerleader.com is a website dedicated to the involvement of women in STEM. In particular, the site features real cheerleaders who are involved in STEM fields. Each of them take on different roles which deviate from the typical “nerdy” persona that often stereotypes women in this field. Donna Milgram, Executive Director for Institute for Women in Trades, Technology and Science states, “I want the biggest tent possible for including women and girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) – it’s about choice and potential – and if you have to choose to be a nerd girl to be a scientist a lot of young women will opt out. I like the idea of glamorous, popular, sexy women scientists as role models and I love this website. Becoming a female scientist in STEM should not be equal to being a nerd girl. If we ever want to significantly increase the number of women in STEM we will need to have ALL kinds of women joining the fold.”
