Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) has been a focus area with girls for industry leaders over the past couple of decades. Although there has been an increase in women within the field, the overwhelming majority are still men. As my wife could tell you, the opportunities are vast for a female coming out of college in these disciplines and it's important to share the growth potential (and, at times, excitement) that can be discovered in these fields as young women are starting to think about their futures. I applaud the work of Oklahoma Women in Technology's Behind the Scenes retreat for 7th to 12th graders and spurring their interest. It's programs such as these (similar to one my wife went to at the University of Texas in 7th grade) that pave the way with opportunities, such as scholarships, for women in STEM.
