Why can’t we say “Power”? Embracing Power for Ourselves & Our Girls by Melanie Bunten & Katrina Kerns
Come to a powerful talk by some female engineers from Intel. This presentation was selected for and presented to the Society of Women Engineers National Conference in October of 2017.
It is a compilation of research about women’s relationship with power. An uneasy relationship with power suppresses a girl’s innate confidence, drives underrepresentation in the STEM classroom, and detracts from professional achievement.
It is intended to give parents, mentors, educators, and professionals actionable strategies to overcome common barriers to a healthy relationship with power.
A healthy power relationship will help energize and motivate girls, keep all students engaged in STEM curricula, and highlight internal and external resistances to professional advancement.
