=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''Tactic #2: Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead'''</span><br/> ===
'''Project Lead: Sierra Bonn''' [http://letsgofullsteamahead.com "Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!" ] is an educational initiative to empower young women to see their potential within the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Of all the science, engineering, and tech workers in the United States, only 24% are women. To address this gender disparity, young women need to be encouraged to pursue their dreams. Starting with students at Colvin Elementary School, we have prototyped teaching methods to explore STEAM sith with 2nd and 3rd-grade girls. At Girl Scout camp, we prototyped activities for their new Science and Engineering Exploration Badges. In Augusta Public Schools (elementary, middle, and high school), we will be prototyping short STEAM workshops that can be taught in 30 minutes-1 hour, that tie into what the students and teachers are already doing with their classrooms. ''Watch Sierra's Ignite about "Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!":'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNOGSDYBEKI&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0rXUybj_13q7XCZjNt7mN_PjgXVzaWiwjUOtpa6gdtua2WYpUnq-sR5fA "Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead: Addressing Gender Disparity" an ignite presentation at the 2019 ASEE Midwest Regional Conference]
