Studies show that young girls enjoy math, science and technology just as
much as boys do. Yet by eighth grade, twice as many boys as girls show
interest in science, engineering and mathematics careers. As a result, only 22
percent of engineers and scientists are women – even though women make
up nearly half the workforce. If this pattern continues, many of today’s girls
will miss out on the jobs of the future.
Girls Go Tech is a Girl Scout initiative to encourage girls to explore the world around them through science, math and technology.
