Promoting STEM Education Among Girls

Women in data science play a crucial role in encouraging more young girls to pursue education in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). By acting as role models, mentors, and advocates for STEM education, women can inspire a new generation of girls to explore data science and other related fields, helping reduce the gender gap from the educational roots.
