The latest addition to Penn College's YouTube channel spotlights encouragement of young women to enter the lucrative STEM career sector with the SMART Girls program (Science & Math Applications in Real-World Technologies). Through diverse, hands-on workshops, the initiative introduces high-school girls to exciting technical careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. "SMART Girls is a way to help combat that increasing trend of girls diverting away from STEM occupations and really shying away from the occupations that are male-dominated," said Elizabeth A. Biddle, K-12 project manager. "The idea is to engage girls in experiences that they may not otherwise had considered for career opportunities."
