Support the Creation of a National Girl in Science Day (will you sign the petition?)

Change.orgWhen Helena Zubkow learned a local school was having an event for boys to learn about science she started a petition asking to open the event to girls and won. Will you support another petition fighting for equal access to STEM subjects for girls? Sign the petitionJOHN –

As a web developer, Helena Zubkow knows how important it is for girls to have opportunities to learn STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
So when she learned that a local school was having a "Mother-Son STEM" night, she was "heartbroken." Helena then started a Change.org petition asking the school to open the event to girls and boys, and won!
But there's still work to be done.
The Invincible Woman Project started a petition asking that in honor of Nobel Prize recipient Dr. Marie Curie's birthday, November 7th be made National Girl in Science Day.
As the petition points out "less than 1% of all female college freshmen say they intend to major in computer science." So The Invincible Woman Project hopes that "her birthday can serve as the perfect focal point to encourage science mentorship and bring national attention to girls and women in science.”

If you agree it’s important that girls receive the same support in pursuing STEM subjects as boys, support this petition asking Congress to make November 7th National Girl in Science Day.
Thank you,
