“The Girl Scouts and several local companies are teaming up to reduce the gender gap in the study of science, technology, engineering and math (collectively known as STEM)…Girl Scouts can now earn a badge in STEM.

The program also points out that STEM education is necessary for jobs that require specialized training.”(more)
