STEM will be an integral part of every field, industry and sector and will drive our future world. Being future ready means being equipped with the tech-forward mindset and skills to pursue all 21st century opportunities. Having tech knowledge, skills and mindset will position teen girls to be able to have more career options, make a greater impact in their future workplace, and become leaders in a digitalized economy. I strongly believe that it is imperative to first change teen girls’ mindset. In many education systems, especially across Asian countries, students need to select their major before or upon entering university. Due to various reasons including stereotypes, lack of confidence and career path misconceptions, many teen girls rule out the college STEM path prematurely and this impacts even their high school subject choices and pursuits. Teen girls need to see that majoring in STEM and subsequently pursuing STEM careers is only one of the many career options. Despite majoring in engineering, I first ventured into the finance industry and now work in the field of education. My engineering background influences the way I lead and the way I think – it is the way I approach and solve problems, and the way I imagine and innovate.
