It's not that women aren't making major waves in STEM fields, the problem is a lack of air coverage and mainstream visibility. In 2016, the number reached 48.5% women - nearly half of Carnegie Mellon's Computer Science students. In addition, 43.3% of Carnegie's 2016 College of Engineering enrollment are women, another notable stride for girls & women in STEM. The United States will sponsor over $50 million in new efforts to encourage women and girls to pursue careers in STEM. Society continuously downplays HERstory by dismissing the stunning achievements of women in STEM (+entrepreneurship).
