1. I love this, and it's one of the things I promote in my profession.

More and more girls are stepping up in the world of Making, Tinkering, and other STEM activities and clubs like Robotics, but then I've always felt that STEM should include a lot of practices formerly deemed "feminine arts".

Seriously, culinary arts and fashion design and fabrication are totally STEM, and I get into heated discussions, usually with male engineers, about what is STEM, but I digress.

It's been a bit harder to recruit women of color into these teams but that's changing, too.

It's an exciting time!
