Thx for the soapbox! The July 2022 issue of "Open Access Government" includes my editorial about the positive impacts for #students of authentic classroom #engineering experiences. See page 218: bit.ly/3bYE4DZ

#genderstereotypes about #STEM start early. We believe this can change. We are working for change.

Early in elementary school, many children already believe that boys are more interested than girls in computer science and engineering. That stereotype can impact girls’ willingness to participate in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) ... bit.ly/3NerNZQ

This is so true--young children DO think #engineers fix cars! Early exposure to #classroomengineering is critical for #k-18 #students to see themselves as engineers.
