What can a girl do with STEM? She could cure a disease, or build a website, or discover a new planet. She could create her own video game, design a new car seat for her little brother, or create a brand new nail polish color. She could make a new recipe for people with allergies or build a better airplane. Actually, a girl can do anything with STEM.
