GLOBAL CONTEXT: FAIRNESS AND DEVELOPMENT
​
What are the consequences of our common humanity?
Why don't more women choose to pursue careers in science, technological, engineering, and mathematical fields?
How can we involve more women who express interest to participate and enter this particular field?

EXPLORATION
​
It is the right and responsibility of humans to take initiative in what concerns the unequal division of male and female workers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Establishment of gender equity has the potential to stimulate socio-economic growth, and increase the development rate of innovation.
