Planting a seed! In today’s rapidly evolving world, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are at the forefront of innovation. Despite this, women remain underrepresented in these fields, a disparity that often begins in childhood. Today my daughter - who is a game fanatic - attended a design hackathon organized by Hello Ada and Netcompany and created her own game by designing the rules, the graphics, the features that should be added to make it even more exciting. Exposing these young girls to STEM is about empowering them with the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to succeed. Thank you Nermeen Louizi Ghoniem, I hope we planted a seed!
Thanks for joining Ingrid - and what an amazing game idea! Hope to see your daughter and you at another event 🌻

1moI don’t want to rain on someone’s parade, but the stance that woman are underrepresented in certain fields points directly at different interests of men and women generally. That woman should be represented in equally in these fields and in boardrooms is simplistic. These positions are as hard to attain as the very top athletes I.e. LIMITED. The best of the best. Not to mention every other underrepresented group that wants a seat at that conference table. But let’s keep it to the binary, you only need to look to Jordan Peterson’s work on the differences of male and female interests that lead to career choices. Equality in everyday administrative pursuits seems equal (men and woman) but when it is hands on positions- roofer, plumber, bricklayer, steelworker, equipment maintenance it’s a male dominated world. Why? Before bemoaning “underrepresented “ in the boardroom’s or the pinnacle of a profession let’s review the true numbers of underrepresented positions. With all due respect.
