Although female and male students perform equally well on standardized math and science tests, the middle school years prove to be a pivotal time when girls lose confidence and interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The reasons for this downward trajectory are endless; lack of role models, peer pressure, little to no parent support and misconceptions of what actually constitutes a “STEM professional”, to name a few.
