Better outcomes are achieved when we approach a problem from many perspectives \u2013 people from diverse backgrounds with different life experiences, see what others can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why our Origin Energy Foundation is working to address the gender imbalance in STEM. Origin volunteers are opening up pathways by bringing real-world STEM to life in the classrooms around Australia, showing young people how science and engineering can improve lives.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few ways you can help address the gender imbalance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stamp out Imposter Syndrome by providing specific and actionable feedback that gives clarity about why performance was good, great or even exceptional.<\/li>\n<li>Let young women know that they can achieve success in STEM by elevating stories of previous and current female excellence.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage a growth mindset to foster an environment in which girls understand that intelligence expands with learning and experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Women have a rightful place in the lab, in the field, and in the room solving massive, complex scientific and engineering problems.<\/p>\n<p>Want to learn more about how you can help?
