Engage Girls in STEM: Teach Them to Be Entrepreneurs
Teaching girls to think like entrepreneurs can be the key to unlocking their potential in STEM fields. At VentureLab, we encourage girls to innovate, problem-solve and take calculated risks, and we’ve seen a profound change in their enthusiasm and confidence as a result. By exposing girls to entrepreneurial concepts at a young age, they become more aware of opportunities around them and learn to think creatively. We’ve even seen 5-year-old students become entrepreneurs by identifying a problem, conducting market research, and ultimately creating a successful product. If we want more women innovators, we need to teach girls to observe and anticipate needs, innovate, and take risks.
