Episode Main Points:
1) STEM is found all around us. Being in nature and finding science in nature is STEM. Construction, roadwork, our cars, and buildings are all evidence of STEM. The watch on your arm, the chemical in your hair...all STEM. There is no getting around it, STEM is everywhere.
2) Stephanie talks about her journey in this episode and I think its important that you take a real good listen to what she says about taking the time to figure it out. Don't lose yourself to the ideas of others and really taking the time to get clear about your life and where you want to go and what you want to do.
3) Live your life out loud. I love that she has found her passion and its around girls seeing themselves as STEMinists; as women in STEM and that they belong.

About STEM Gems:
With degrees in Chemical Engineering from MIT and UC Berkeley, I have personally experienced the gender gap that exists in the majority of STEM fields where women are severely underrepresented. The STEM Gems book is a product of my own experience and desire to help close the gender gap in STEM.
It features 44 women STEM leaders of today, each with different goals, paths, and aspirations, and each within their own unique STEM field. I strongly believe that girls and young women need female STEM role models to see themselves as scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians. These role models are what I call STEM Gems.
The STEM Gems book gives girls exposure to women doing amazing things in STEM, and gives them the tools to learn how to be STEM Gems themselves. By reading this book, girls and young women will have their pick of role models who offer tangible guidance and advice so that they will begin to see new possibilities that they may have never otherwise dreamed of.
The STEM Gems book is the book I wish I had growing up.
