COUNT GIRLS IN Empowering Girls to Combine Any Interests with STEM to Open Up a World of Opportunity

Why do girls turn away from STEM subjects? Narrated by the positive-sounding Nan McNamara, this audiobook is a call to arms--and a valuable resource--for those who want to create inclusive academic and professional worlds for girls. How can parents and teachers encourage them to develop habits of mind foundational to success in all fields? How can we conceptualize STEM skills to include those associated with a wide set of talents? McNamara's narration is well paced and easy to listen to. She adds bright notes of possibility to what could sound daunting. The audiobook includes many lists and resources--a challenge that McNamara meets with a clear voice and varied pacing, keeping the material interesting. She also highlights occasional humorous moments. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2019]
