ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Women constitute roughly half of the United States workforce, yet they are notably underrepresented in the STEM –science, technology, engineering, and math – fields. The extent of this gender gap is subject to debate depending on the specific metrics analyzed. But one thing remains indisputable: there is a pressing need to pave the way for more women to thrive in STEM disciplines.

Key Points: 
  • But one thing remains indisputable: there is a pressing need to pave the way for more women to thrive in STEM disciplines.

  • "Institutes of higher learning that share the Prep's goal of expanding STEM opportunities for women, like CalTech, Harvey Mudd, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, actively pursue our students.
  • "At the same time, this isn't surprising because Fairmont has been breaking ground in STEM education for years, as demonstrated by our Newsweek ranking as Orange County's Best Private School for STEM.
