Despite being underrepresented in many STEM industries, women make invaluable contributions to these fields. Encouraging more women to be a part of STEM is a benefit to all of us! Meet three women who are embracing STEM in their work and everyday life, showing that no lab coats are needed for what they do. Image of Vera Rubin courtesy of Carnegie Institution of Science

#Frauen und #Technik – passt das einfach nicht zusammen? MINT-Fächer, also Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik, sind bei Frauen immer noch deutlich weniger beliebt als bei Männern. Aber warum? Liegt das tatsächlich an unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten? Oder hat das eher was mit Stereotypen und veralteten Rollenbildern zu tun? Gemeinsam mit Moderatorin, Schauspielerin und Autorin Collien Ulmen-Fernandes geht Jasmina in dieser Folge #TerraXplore auf Spurensuche und macht ein spannendes #Experiment. Mit einer Schulklasse testen Jasmina und Collien die sogenannte „Stereotypenbedrohung”. Dabei geht es darum, dass Mädchen und Frauen schlechter in technischen oder mathematischen Tests abschneiden, wenn vorher genau dieses Klischee bestärkt wird. Liegen die Unterschiede also im Endeffekt vielleicht gar nicht in den Interessen und Fähigkeiten der Geschlechter, sondern haben viel mehr sozio-kulturelle Gründe? Und Jasmina möchte von Prof. Elke Wolf von der Hochschule München und wissen: Wieso ergreifen Frauen weniger oft technische Jobs und Studiengänge? Was tun Hochschulen dagegen? Und wie könnten technische Bereiche in Zukunft auch für Frauen attraktiver werden? 👉 Mehr zum Thema Frauenbilder im Laufe der Zeit findet Ihr in der Doku-Serie „ laut. stark. gleich. berechtigt. - Zeit der Frauen” in der ZDF-Mediathek: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfzeit/zdfzeit-laut-stark-gleich-berechtigt-1-100.html 👈 *******  Mehr Videos aus dem Terra X-Kosmos findest du auch in der Mediathek: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-xplore#xtor=CS4-423 Terra X Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZDFterraX Terra X Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terraX Jasmina bei Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasminadarianeudecker *******  KAPITEL: 00.00 Intro: Frauen und Technik – passt das wirklich nicht zusammen? 01:03 Was haben Rollenbilder und Stereotype damit zu tun? 02:20 Stereotype: So werden sie reproduziert 04:25 Berufe-Klischees: Wer übt welchen Beruf aus – das denken Kinder 06:05 Welche Rolle spielen weibliche Vorbilder? 07:50 Sind Frauen wirklich schlechter in Naturwissenschaften als Männer? 09:10 Experiment: Welche Rolle spielen soziokulturelle Faktoren und Stereotype? 15:45 Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in Studium und Beruf – was muss sich ändern? 19:50 Fazit: Brauchen wir in Zukunft mehr Frauen in Naturwissenschaften und Technik? *******  UNSERE QUELLEN:  👉 Meta -Studie, die zeigt, wie Unterschiede in der Mathe – Performance weltweit von soziokulturellen Faktoren abhängen: Kane, J.

Just a few decades ago, it was a rare sight to see a woman working in a #STEM field (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). Today, while more common, women are still outnumbered 3 to 1 by their male counterparts. Based on scientific research, we've identified five actions that will help engage more girls in STEM. EPI is implementing these initiatives into its daily work as part of its #STEM4Good campaign. And you can, too.
