CRITERIA
Write a 500 word essay answering the following question: What do you think can be done to improve representation of women in STEM fields?

Things to consider while developing your ideas:

Enthusiasm – Passion is great, share it!
Originality – Do you have ideas that schools, governments or industry have not thought about or previously applied to improve representation?
Forward Thinking – How do you see the future shaping representation?
Deployment – How can your idea be effectively deployed? What would be some of the obstacles to overcome?
