The Importance of STEM for Girls

In this edition of the Passion to Action series, you'll meet Rhonda Forrester, a licensed Civil & Environmental Engineer and volunteer with the Girl Scouts of Maine. Rhonda's passion is being a mentor for one of the four key areas of focus in the girl’s leadership experience - Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).  

We discuss:

  • Why Rhonda loves what she does,
  • Her passion for sharing STEM with girls
  • The variety of careers available
  • The financial security STEM offers
  • Why it’s important for more girls to be going into STEM.
