A former scientist and engineer (Phylecia Jones) believes we need to use our voices to remind girls and young women that they are good at mathematics. In this Ted talk, Phylecia appeals to us to encourage young women to pursue and stay in STEM classes and careers. “Did you know that 15 is the exact age a girl loses interest in math?” Phylecia asks in this thought-provoking Ted talk. Using her experience to show how mathematics changed her life, Phylecia shows us that supporting girls pursuing STEM is a worthwhile cause that builds confidence and can change how they live their lives.
