SAN ANTONIO – February 11 marks International Day of Women and Girls in Science. It’s a day to celebrate women involved in STEM, and a day to encourage girls to think science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. One area where women are underrepresented is the construction sciences. But at Construction Careers Academy, educators like Krista Ackles are passionate about teaching female students like Edith Estrada-Contreras about construction.

SAN ANTONIO – February 11 marks International Day of Women and Girls in Science. It’s a day to celebrate women involved in STEM, and a day to encourage girls to think science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Although great strides have been made to include women in STEM related fields over the past few decades, inequality is still an issue. According to UNESCO, only 30% of all female students pursue a stem-related career. But here in San Antonio, we’re setting our girls up for success through specialized programs like the one at John Jay Science and Engineering Academy.

The Witte Museum is celebrating its first traveling exhibit of the new year and it takes a closer look at the nuts and bolts of the natural world. It’s called “The Machine Inside: Biomechanics” and it traveled from Chicago’s Field Museum. Pumps, motors, thick jaws and much more allow visitors to learn about how every machine in human bodies, plants and even animals have a function. All the information presented in The Machine Inside: Biomechanics is presented in both English and Spanish, allowing for more visitors to learn about science. AdStaff will help enforce the use of facial masks and social distancing throughout the exhibit and museum.

Sohn had some doubts, which sparked the idea of a science project to hopefully prove mom wrong. “I wanted to investigate the effects of probiotics, metformin on ischemia, reperfusion injuries on roundworms,” Sohn said. “I treated the roundworms in three different timeframes: five days before hypoxia, two days before hypoxia and one day after hypoxia,” Sohn said. So I used nitrogen through a chamber.”Joanna Sohn, a 13-year old STEM student from San Antonio has been named one of the most promising middle school STEM students in the country. (KSAT)Her science project is also testament to the young student’s resiliency and creativity.

Ignacia told KSAT that this money is so appreciated, since the school doesn’t have the latest technology and equipment for the students to use. If they win the grand prize, the school will receive $100,000 worth of technology and classroom supplies, as well as a trip to Washington D.C. for Ms. Kilgore’s class.

But some school districts are now emphasizing STEAM, it's the same as STEM, but it also encourages art. Friday is National STEAM or STEM day, an opportunity to emphasize the fields of learning and set up students for their futures. And like those STEM skills and stuff without necessarily knowing that they're learning, or having the pressure of learning and being in a fun environment." “It’s not in your typical school environment, where it’s in a fun setting and they can have fun learning and it’s not a worksheet. The idea is to teach STEM or STEAM with hands-on activities and workshops and these subjects aren't going away anytime soon.
