Women In STEM Background Research
A summary of the information freely available on the topic, it contains some snap shots, some data and analysis, and some extracts from the included documents/web pages. It is by no means complete but it gives a broad overview. (Download)
Available STEM Programs
A summary of available STEM programs. It is no way a complete list. Scholarships were deliberately not included (unless they explicitly included internships, work-placements or mentorships as part of the package), as were programs such as After School STEM programs, Fun with STEM Parties, and Shopping Centre Science. Museums and Science Centres with popular science rather than targeted science programs were also excluded. (download)
