FizziksGuy Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 The gender gap in STEM fields is striking. In grades four through seven, when a lot of kids first start to think about what they might want to do as a career, just 14 percent of girls express an interest in science, technology, education, and math. A group of industry and academic leaders gathered at Northeastern’s Seattle campus with what just might be a solution to that problem: video games. (Yes, parents and teachers, you’re reading that right.) - See more at: http://www.northeastern.edu/news/2013/06/girls-games/#sthash.gy6MwSMa.dpuf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepperJack Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 If you asked me that question as a fourth grader or even seventh grader I would have said a scientist. I was asking for microscopes for Christmas as age nine, and anatomy books at age 11. And I will admit to playing a few video games. Shockingly, I want to be an English major now. However, physics is the best subject known to man. Especially if you are blessed to be in Mr. Fullerton's class. Best teacher ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FizziksGuy Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 You'll do great at ANYTHING you set your mind to, I have no doubt. And thanks so much for your too-kind comments. Made my night, definitely my week, without a doubt the month, and quite possibly my year! Now to go find a tissue, I think a bug just flew into my eye and made it tear up a bit... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
