Despite the fact that girls are enrolling in engineering and industrial design courses in greater numbers, the gender gap in these professions is still a palpable reality. Girls STEAM education aims to add excitement to STEM learning by adding the element of creativity to encourage more girls to see engineering and industrial design as great career paths for them to explore. Tom Hazzard and Tracy Hazzard revisit the subject of girls STEAM education with an episode featuring Suz Somersall. Her website, KiraKira.com, is an online educational platform for girls to develop their 3D modeling skills by creating free courses and curriculum for 3D print STEAM education. HP and other tech industry notables have partnered up to support broadening 3D education for girls. This is highly relevant when so many parents and educators are looking for virtual learning options.
