Engineering is in my DNA. But as an African American, I may never have turned my natural aptitude into successfully doing my life’s work at the technology consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton if I hadn’t found it within myself to seize every chance I had to expand my network, be mentored, and keep learning.

Asians Americans in science, tech, engineering, and math fields are in a unique position: While Asian American workers are often overrepresented, women in the community are typically underrepresented in these industries.

A new survey by Junior Achievement conducted by the research group Engine shows that only 9 percent of girls between ages of 13 and 17 are interested in careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). This is down from 11 percent from a similar survey in 2018. Teen boys' interest in STEM careers increased slightly to 27 percent, up from 24 percent in 2018. The survey of 1,004 teens was conducted from April 16 to 21, 2019.

Good news! Your boss has suggested that you attend a conference! You’re on your way to a weeklong retreat of interacting with colleagues; learning about the latest advances in your field; and procuring a soft-sided tote bag with the conference logo that you will lose under a bunch of stuff in your house for five years and then donate to the Salvation Army, which will discard it.
