  Penn Manor technology teacher Molly Miller has never shied away from a challenge.

The article from LancasterOnline discusses the stagnation of women's representation in STEM careers despite a growing demand for these jobs. It highlights that while women make up about half of the total workforce, they only account for 28% of the STEM workforce. The piece delves into the experiences of local women in STEM, like Emily Sheetz, a mechanical engineer, and Dr. Jennifer Zellers, a chemistry professor, who both emphasize the importance of mentorship and visibility of women in these fields. The article also references a study by the American Association of University Women, which found that the gender gap in STEM starts early and persists throughout education and careers. Efforts to increase female participation include initiatives like Girls Who Code and the Society of Women Engineers, yet challenges such as workplace culture and lack of female role models continue to hinder progress.
