Women You Should Know
The saying, "If she can't see it, she can't be it," speaks to the importance of introducing girls to female role models, especially in areas where women's accomplishments were often overlooked or minimized such as in STEM. Nevertheless, a podcast which celebrates women transforming teaching and learning through technology, commissioned posters featuring women we should know and offers them for free in hopes that you will print them out for your classroom. Below, you'll find a link to download the posters, as well as a description of the scientist featured and recommended reading for both kids and adults to help you explore her story in more depth. https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=23086
