I joined the team and hope to find out if incorporating active-learning techniques can improve current college STEM education and thus help increase retention rates of women and minorities.

Degree

Computer Science and Statistical Science ’17

Project Team

STEM for All (2015-2016)

Back in my home country of China, women outperform men in STEM fields in high school. However, the majority of STEM majors in universities are men. Coming to the U.S., I was surprised to observe the same situation. Women and minorities are under-represented in STEM fields all over the globe.

Therefore, I joined the team and hope to find out if incorporating active-learning techniques can improve current college STEM education and thus help increase retention rates of women and minorities.
