The site offers games, quizzes, facts and various other activities to educate and engage girls. Careers in math, science and technology are among the fastest growing and most highly paid in our society. But, many girls do not get the opportunity to compete for these jobs, having not completed preparatory schooling in these areas, says Kathy Cloninger, CEO, Girl Scouts of the USA. Cloninger offers some tips to help parents and teachers encourage girls to explore math, science and technology all around them. 1. Remember that you are a role model, so use technology in your daily life. For example, share with girls what you do at work and show them how science, math and technology are important in your job. 2. Whether at home, 'school or at the library, spend time sitting down with girls at a computer. Use that time to visit Web sites they might find interesting. 3. Encourage girls to take math, science and technology classes as they enter middle school and support them in those decisions. 4. Use your math skills to show girls how to save money from their allowances so they can buy a special item.
