This fantastic artistic PowerPoint presentation was presented to IEEE MEA Engineering College Student Branch, India. In this presentation, I covered concepts of STEM, reasons to have women in STEM, Why STEM fro girls, barriers and solution, STEM pipeline, facts, and fiction for girls in STEM. I believe this presentation is full of encouragement for girls to choose STEM as their career and profession, figure out fictions for girls in STEM.
Special thanks to expert and my IEEE mentor Muhammad Mairaj Ul Haque for helping me.

The Kelly Global Workforce Index (KGWI) is an annual global survey that is the largest study of its kind. In 2015, Kelly collected feedback from 164,000 workers across 28 countries across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions and a multitude of industries and occupations.
This study is taking a high level look at:
- Work-Life Design as it pertains to the global worker today.
- Women in STEM Talent Gap - a study that at the gap of women talent in STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – fields.
- Career Management – specifically the emerging trend of do-it-yourself (“DIY”) career development – as it pertains to the global worker seeking to be as resilient as possible in today’s uncertain environment
- Collaborative Work Environment as it pertains to the global worker today.
Here is our second global report on the topic Women in STEM.
This deck reviews the state of play in the STEM industry and provides insight on how to fix a skills shortage by making a more welcoming working environment for women.
It is often said that girls either are not interested in STEM subjects or are left out for various reasons. Some of this “common knowledge” is actually a myth – girls are interested in SOME STEM areas, such as biology, but not others, such as computer science. This session will take a deep dive into these myths and realities to discover what is really attractive to girls in elementary and secondary schools in STEM subjects.
Participants will learn about the Maker Movement and the potential to bring new tools and technology to K-12 classrooms to support hands-on learning across all grades and curriculum – but particularly STEM and STEAM. The implications of the Maker Movement are two-fold. One is that many of the technological inventions support areas that are of particular interest to girls, such as inventions that help people, sewable electronics, e-textiles, bio-materials, and community projects. The second is that the collaborative, tinkering nature of the Maker Movement dovetails with girls ability to work collaboratively and in a connected way. By exploring best practices from schools around the world that have successfully created strong STEM programs for girls, the participants in this session will be able to take away ideas and resources that will be of use in their own schools and districts.

Science and technology are fundamental factors in the growth and development of every society. Strong STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education is vital to students’ success in an increasingly technological and global economy. It is a critical building block for exploration, innovation, and the economy, and the catalyst to attack problems affecting the world… and it is a catalyst for jobs. The under-representation of women in STEM fields is a potentially massive loss economically.
Women Empowerment : Reservation with ProtectionApurv Londhe
Women Needs to be empowered to make there situation better . The answer is education , employment and ecourage them in social activities . Only reservation won't empower women's situation in India But rather it is a best way to contribute for the empowerment of India . According to me women could be empowered through three ways - 1. Education 2. Employment - i.e Economic Empowerment 3. Sociall Empowerment !!
But being seen the will of our polititian for Reservation in Loksabha , The Bill is still pending is the saddest thing . The President of INC - is a Women , Hon' Speaker of Loksabha is a Women and also Opposition Leader of Loksabha is a WOmen Still and still womens situation in India is not too good , and still the bill is pending .!!!
I am not saying that the bill is only solution put I am damn sure that bill is part of solution !! If womens are led to be the part of the system they could change them and could make other women empower ,
This is what Empowering Women by Women i.e what Empowering Women Empowering India !!!
Women, the world's most valuable human resource, are the foundations of global economy.The low representation of women in the Science and Technolgy field is a social and economic concern.
What are the links between being a woman, working in the informal sector, and contributing to growth?
At 17%, India has a lower share of women's contribution to GDP than the global average of 37%.
Gender Equality is human right issue.when we are discriminating million of people on the basis of gender we are denying them basic dignity.so lets raise our voice against discrimination which is perpetual and glare at our face everyday weather we are at the Work place ,personal front or public.it is right there.Now it is your choice whether you face it,keep quiet about it due to the fear of backlash or voice your opinion against it.
This beautiful and artistic piece of research work was presented in a webinar by YOUNG INNOVATORS Engineering Research Institute, India. This explains the major stereotypes, barriers, challenges for women, and their solution.

DIversity Gaps in Computer Science: Exploring the Underrepresentation of Girls, Blacks, and Hispanics. Google Report 2016. The Diversity Gaps in Computer Science: Exploring the Underrepresentation of Girls, Blacks, and Hispanics report
is essential given the announcement of President Obama’s bold new initiative, CS for All, in January of
this year (2016). The report contains the needed focus on women, Blacks, and Hispanics — three groups
that are underrepresented in computer science studies and the computing workforce. The report raises
awareness about the structural and social barriers for the target groups in computer science, based upon a
holistic assessment — surveying students, parents, teachers, principals, and superintendents.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

7. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
● Larissa: show that her looks lead others
to perceive her as not being qualified for
the STEM field.
● We need to need to understand that women
are capable of being maternal figures and
conquering challenging STEM degrees and
advanced positions
● Raziqa - only person that was not voted
for the dropping out of STEM category,
becoming a social media star, or being bad
at physics
○ She emulates the perception that Asian people are
skilled in math and sciences.
8. Stats on women in stem Workforce
● Women in STEM Career:
○ 15% Engineering
○ 26% Computer & Mathematical
Sciences
● Women makeup half of the total U.S
college-educated workforce
○ Only ~25% of the science and
technology workforce
● Only 30% of female engineers are still working in field after 20 years.
● 30% leave due to “professional climate”
11. Research experiment Results: ● Study 1: Science faculty hiring
equally qualified candidates.
https://www.aauw.org/research/solv
ing-the-equation/
12. ● Female
● Male
● Study 2: Science faculty hiring candidates with varied
performance levels.
https://www.aauw.org/res
earch/solving-the-equatio
13. Females in Stem Higher Education
● Freshman intention: Men (26.9%) Women (7.9%)
● Over 32% of females will leave the program.
● Female college students are 1.5 times as likely to leave STEM after
taking the first course in the calculus series.
● Females lack of confidence in math ability, main reason not pursuing
STEM.
● Male college students are more likely to take engineering and
computer sciences.
14. Female students K-12
● Females perform equally as well in mathematics & science on standardized
tests, as male peers.
● Males & Females take higher math & science courses at same rate.
● Stereotypes & biases
○ From ages 3-5, girls can develop gender bias
■ Demonstrated in movie & tv
■ Taught socially
○ Parents & teachers can hold bias’
➢ Lack of encouragement leads to lack of interest and
effort in math and science.
17. Minorities in Stem Workforce (2015)
● 11% of workers in Science & Engineering are
Hispanic, Black, and Native Americans.
○ 67% of STEM Workforce is white
https://nsf.gov/statistics/2018/nsb20181/report/sections/science-and-engineering-labor-force/women-and-minorities-
in-the-s-e-workforce
20. Looks matter : Asian american
Very Asian-looking Less Asian-looking
21. Looks matter : African american
Very African-American Less African-American
22. Hidden figures
● It is important to realize that
race is not a categorical
factor - we cannot group a
variety of people under one
category
● “Race is continuous” - people’s
perception of an URM’s
intelligence depends on how
stereotypically they look like
their race
● Stereotypically-black women
face the worst prejudice and
are are perceived to be lacking
in STEM ability
● The higher institution system
fails to support black women
and retain them in the STEM
field
23. Inequality in the k-12 system
“in contemporary times, one of the primary and most powerful
mechanisms through which the in-group creates and maintains
such advantages is the construction and perpetuation of
stereotyped assumptions and beliefs regarding the attributes
of members of the out-group, which are then used to justify
their exclusion” (Anderson, 2010; Lewis & Diamond, 2015)
Opportunity hoarding - advanced classes are primarily filled
up by White and Asian students, leaving minorities to find
their place in the education system and are underprepared
for college
24. GRADE 4 MATH PERFORMANCE
GRADE 8 MATH PERFORMANCE
26. Minorities are left behind in the rich and poor zip
codes
● ONLY 54% OF
HISPANICS
ARE READY
FOR THE
NEXT MATH
LEVEL
www.naperville203.org/Page/4177
27. How minorities in stem suffer in college
● “higher switching rates for minority
students relative to White students is a
pattern that is indeed specific to STEM
fields” ( Riegle-Crumb)
● The lack of academic preparation in high
school explains the ratio of latino/a
students that leave college or switch from
STEM majors in comparison to white
students
● For Black students the lack of academic
preparation does not even begin to explain
the gap between departure rates for black
and white students
28. WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE ME JOIN STEM?
African American Women are less likely
fall prey to gender-stereotypes in STEM
○ Show a much weaker belief in
implicit gender-stem stereotypes
than European-American women
● URM Students going into stem want to
mentor future stem majors of color so
they don’t experience the same sexism
or racism they did
● Equity oriented stem pursuit
29. Rates at which minorities and White students leave and persist in stem

30. The stem system is unjust
STEM has the HIGHEST presence of prejudices and stereotypes
out of any college major and field
We must make the STEM
Field a more inclusive
And supportive environment for all
Ethnicities and genders
31. Creativity is the key to creating innovative leaders
● Engineering needs creative, driven leaders that will
innovate the future!
● “people who believe their jobs require creativity rise to
the challenge and generate more creative solutions to
real-world problems”
● Misconceptions about science:
○ There is no sense of community
○ Scientists are not empathetic
○ STEM is only for antisocial people
○ Scientists work in isolated labs by themselves
32. Women are born to lead
● Girls deter from entering STEM because they believe it is
boring and not creative enough!
● Most males in STEM do not see creativity as a valuable
trait
34. Diversity is the future
We need all types of “colors” in STEM!
We cannot create a diverse economy and remain a world leader
in technology without uniting the unique and cunning minds
out there!

36. How can you get involved in stem
● Participate in STEM programs offered at school
● Connect with people in the field or program
● Research & Follow positive role models
● Persist in STEM courses
○ Ask for help
■ Visit professor office hours
■ Go to tutoring centers at school
○ ask questions in class
○ Form study groups with peers
38. Promoting stem diversity at cod
● Understand the campus/classroom climate from the
perspective of minoritized groups
● Empathize with the discomfort URMs and women
● Offer mentoring especially for women and minorities since
this is atypical for these groups
● Present a diverse array of opportunities
● EACH MINORITY MUST FEEL THAT THEIR IDENTITY IS VALID
39. Cont.
● Faculty who incorporate a more equity ethics based
methodology to teach
○ Equity ethics: Having a concern for helping others
○ Wanting to give back to a larger community and give back at home
● Focus on recruiting black and latino faculty
● Marketing issue; more images of role models putting their
tech into action
● We need more empathy-like projects
○ Ex: Engineering without borders
● Diversity of thought, talent, and background
