Thinking it Over: Girls in Sciences and Technologies
By Liffey Sound 96.4fm
Why are our daughters less likely than our sons to choose to study STEM (Science, Technology, Electronics, Mathematics) subjects? This programme is an interview with Margie McCarthy, Head of Education and Public Engagement at Science Foundation Ireland about the background. Included are resources that will allow parents to engage their children with these subjects and even to carry out home experiments, no matter what their own educational level.
The programme was written, produced, recorded and edited by Martin Downes, Emeritus Professor, Maynooth University.
