Girls and STEM Studies
Listen
The underrepresentation of girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields is a pervasive issue that continues to shape the future of education and innovation. Despite young girls performing equally well, if not better, than boys in STEM subjects at an early age, the numbers of women pursuing careers in these fields remain disproportionately low. Loxley Browne is the writer of the CHARMS book series, a collection of stories that blends adventure with a deep exploration of academic empowerment for young women. In her writing, she challenges the traditional narratives around gender and academic achievement, using her characters to inspire young readers to believe in their potential, regardless of the stereotypes that exist in society. Her series touches on the very challenges that contribute to why girls fall behind in STEM. She is a dynamic entrepreneur, designer, and photographer who embodies a hands-on, solution-oriented leadership style.
