About The STEMinist Stories

The STEMinist Stories is dedicated to empowering and inspiring young girls to choose STEM fields by sharing the success stories of women in STEM. By sharing the inspiring tales of women who have shaped society, the STEMinist Stories hopes to reach millions of girls nationwide and decrease the gender gap. I self-coded a five-page responsive website with a navigation menu for users to access the interviews as well as a blog with students’ stories of what fueled their passion in STEM.

Implementation

I interviewed women in all areas of STEM, and these successful women shared what sparked their passion for STEM as well as tips to surpassing obstacles like the gender gap. After interviewing these women in-person or virtually, I edited the recording using iMovie and published the video interview on Youtube. I also created a blog where young individuals who have chosen STEM careers share the event or activity that fueled their interest in STEM and how they have continued to pursue their passion. I self-coded and designed a five-page responsive website with a navigation menu for users to view the blog and video interviews. I used HTML, Javascript, and PHP to create a responsive website with content, and I used CSS for the design layout. The website also includes a contact page for users to directly ask questions or provide feedback regarding the organization.
