“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. It’s exclusively for Girl Scouts in Orange County…The STEM badge is designed to show girls how math and science learning relates to their everyday interests – from creating music playlists to building sandcastles. The program also points out that STEM education is necessary for jobs that require specialized training.”(more)
