Overview

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Diverse and inclusive women with STEM, trade and art careers. Help take the focus away from what girls can look like, to what girls can do. Quite a few books and toys aimed at young girls seem to contain a lot of pink, and feature princesses, fairies and skinny dolls with makeup. These are fun to play with and read about, but where are the role models to balance out girls' expectations of real life? Who can make them feel worthy and valued? Who can show girls they can become important in their field of work, invent new technology, discover new medicines, inspire others, or choose a career that could save people, animals or the planet? Young girls today are growing up in an image-conscious world. It is teaching them to care less about 'making a difference' and more about making their faces look different. The young women in this book want people to look at them and think smart first, not 'pretty' first. They prefer a makeup-free look and don't mind a few hairs out of place. Whether these women are walking around, using wheelchairs or wearing prosthetic limbs, they are all strong and capable. These diverse and inclusive women want to help young girls realise that what they can look like is not as important as what they can do. Girls have a right to help shape the world they are going to live in as adults, and STEM jobs can help. Careers for Girls features: Descriptions of STEM, trade and art careers and what's so great about them The barriers girls face when choosing STEM school subjects 'The Importance of Friends' and 'Girls Supporting Girls' A 'Tap Water' tune for green schools, a 'Mindfulness' moment and fill-in activities Original hand-drawn artwork with interesting, colourful backgrounds, and Irish places of interest. This book is a map for young girls that can start them on a journey of discovery to find out what they really want to be when they grow up. It is time for girls to rise and they don't need any more distractions. They need role models. Give a young girl in your life the gift of a bright future and let her dream BIG.
