Beth Dichter's insight:
If you are looking for a website that looks at women who have made a difference in STEM check out this site from the White House. Women who work in the White House "tell their stories of their personal heroes across the fields of science, technology, engineering and math."
The site also suggest that we honor those women who have come before in the "best possible way: By committing to encourage a young woman to pursue a career in science."
Currently the stories of 12 women are shared. You may also write about your "untold STEM history" and share how you will inspire young women to pursue science careers.
You can listen to the stories, and they range from just under one minute to about six minutes in length.
