Yes! Time to encourage more women to take up challenges in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
Proud to be one! kiss kiss



Watch that Space, I'm coming like Grace Hopper! cool kiss

To encourage:

Someone made a 30 seconds video of what Female STEM conference meant to her, and this earned her an invite to the HQ of one of these famous IT companies recently and other good stuffs.

Now, the company is requesting she posts that video on a Youtube channel so they can use her as a model to encourage young ladies afraid of taking up challenges in STEM. smiley

Pursue your passion!
You doing Engineering?

In Nigeria, female mediocrity is not only encouraged but rewarded by the male folks and the society at large. All they care about is being "ugly"...I see no reason why our daughters are turning into paintings in the name of fashion and paying heavily for it. That time should be invested solving algebra!

Please the only person worthy of being called an engineer is the spacex lady, she's the only one doing real "engineering" the others are just board room sissies that sit in airconditioned offices with their pencil skirts and hand sanitizers. I find it insulting that the OP is even calling them engineers.

seriously? Even the one who is into artificial intelligence? You seriously dunno what you are saying. You don't need to build and launch rockets to be an engineer. Infact, you don't need to specialize in hardware design. There are software engineers, and that's what the majority on the list are. Look it up.

There is only one engineer on that list and that is the lady at number one.
The rest are IT experts.
A true list for engineering would be certainly more intimidating.
