I’m networking on FaceBook with other people and groups promoting women and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). My latest friend is  Gender Chip, which is the FaceBook site for the gender chip project.

The Gender Chip Project offers both a documentary and companion materials designed to assist teachers, parents and mentors who are encouraging girls to the pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

In 1998 filmmaker Helen De Michiel brought together several young women majoring in the sciences, engineering and math at Ohio State University in Columbus. They agreed to meet regularly over their next three years of college, and create a community to share experiences and struggles as women stepping into traditionally male domains.
