Many children think in quieter, slower, messier, more careful, more observant, more imaginative ways.

Our latest REDefine essay explores why this matters for girls’ STEM confidence, and why belonging has to be built long before subject choices begin.

Our granddaughter turned 6, and we bought her four presents. Jewels for her hair, tinsel for her hair, a book about astronaut Mae Jemison, and a science kit to create circuits to turn on fans, enable a light sensor, and more.

I'm pleased to say she begrudgingly let me put tinsel in her hair, wouldn't even open the hair jewels, but made me read the Jemison book to her twice and cried when we made her stop doing science to go to bed.
