STEM Subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) have traditionally attracted more men than women, however the industry is keen to change this. Fortunately for the girls who are good at science subjects, there are an increasing number of scholarships being offered. The aim being, to encourage more women in STEM to pursue their passions.
