"If you want to achieve something ridiculous, you have to put in ridiculous effort." For the past three months, this quote has been my mindset. And I'm not going to lie, living by that quote was HARD–ridiculous even. I found myself trying to juggle school full-time,...
So, you've done a few research projects and have now decided to do a few STEM subjects in school. This all eventually accumulates into a STEM degree. Congratulations, you're now a Woman in STEM! Now what? I'm still trying to find my way around what makes me a WiSTEM,...

Introduction Have you ever felt a nagging feeling that you’re not good enough… that you don’t have the skills or the ability to do something, even though you actually do? Have you felt like others might sniff you out as a fraud? If so, you’re not the only one. It’s...
I’ve always hated Computer Science and Education. I mean, being a student in a super competitive school as a 5th grader definitely had its disadvantages. Whenever school was out for “Staff Learning Day,” I’d always tag along with my Dad in his workplace. He’s a...
