“YOU have a chance to shape your own destiny.” - Kim Reynolds, Lieutenant Governor of Iowa
In the past, for many women, pursuing a job in the STEM
workforce did not seem possible; lack of information, school programs and even
mentorship, guidance and encouragement centered around female STEM were
unavailable. Thankfully, this is no longer the case. With more opportunities
than ever before, women (and their employers) should be aware of endless
possibilities out there. Learn about why Kim Reynolds, Lieutenant Governor of
Iowa is pushing for more STEM programs in schools and business in the Women in
STEM- My Story, My Advice project: http://bit.ly/1oHtLi1

Kim’s Story:
Kim Reynolds, Lieutenant Governor of Iowa Growing up in St. Charles, Iowa, it never occurred to me to that I could become a food scientist, civil engineer, or aerospace engineer. Primarily because I didn't have the chance to learn within an innovative STEM classroom, join a robotics team or experience computer coding. Those experiences didn't exist in my school district. That's why I'm so passionate about driving STEM education. STEM truly offers unlimited opportunities to young women and students who are underrepresented or underserved. As Lieutenant Governor of Iowa, I am deeply committed to preparing our students for the jobs of tomorrow. Read the rest of Kim's story and her advice: http://bit.ly/1oHtLi1
