You need to hear the bad news first: the results of STEM outreach to girls haven’t improved in twenty years. The good news? This book will tell you why, and how to fix it. Currently, dated narratives push girls away in fear, and blind spots result in missed opportunities to pull them in. While efforts to increase diversity in science and mathematics have succeeded, outreach has largely ignored engineering—where there is still only one woman for every five men. This is especially troubling because engineering offers vastly more jobs than other STEM fields.

Learn the Secrets of an Inspiring STEM Ambassador
Revisado: 06-05-23
Julie Newman’s Pull Don’t Push is a cheat code for creating and contributing to compelling STEM events that resonate powerfully with girls. I have seen Julie speak many times, and she is phenomenal. It is impossible to walk away from any of her talks without feeling the excitement, wonder and joy she experiences solving puzzles and contributing to missions as an engineer! In this book, she shares, all of her secrets (precisely because they shouldn’t be secret!) for inspiring girls and helping them discover the joys of engineering without accidentally amplifying any fears or misconceptions they may have. The first part of the book is an engaging discussion of why STEM outreach needs to focus more on engineering, how diverse the job opportunities that fall under engineering are, and how to better focus STEM outreach on topics and stories that resonate with girls and fuel their passions. She uses just enough data to fortify her case without disrupting her narrative. But the real gold is in the Appendix. Here she provides tools, guidelines, and templates to help people set up and execute excellent events. This is an amazing resource for anyone who cares about inspiring girls to consider careers in engineering. It’s like having a master mentor at your fingerprints to guide you through the process of recruiting speakers and sponsors, creating engaging events, and explaining your experiences in a way that inspires girls!
