WISE exists for...
 
The WISE Campaign encourages young women, under 19 years old to value and pursue Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths or Construction related courses in School or College and move on into related careers.
 
We do this by first listening to you, understanding and voicing your opinions to other companies.  We can then work together to challenge traditional approaches and get more young women involved where this once was near impossible.
 
 

 

If you work with or are aged 20 years or over, and are interested in training or further career options, please contact our partner organisation, the UKRC, for relevant information.  (link below)

National Science Foundation
The NSF in the US lists some myths about  girls and science:
Myth: From the time they start school, most girls are less interested in science than boys are:
Reality: Recent research shows 2/3 of 10 year old girls like science - the same proportion as for boys

Myth: Trying to interest older girls in science runs the risk of turning off the boys
Reality: Changing  the science lesson to interest the girls also increases interest among the boys

Myth: Science and maths teachers are no longer biased towards their male students
Reality: Biases are persistent and teachers often interact more with boys than with girls
