Happy Monday everyone! 🙂
The saying, "If she can't see it, she can't be it," speaks to the importance of introducing girls to female role models, especially in areas where women's accomplishments were often overlooked or minimized such as in science, mathematics, and technology. A new poster collection aims to bring more of these women's stories to light — and inspire today's Mighty Girls with the knowledge that she can be whatever she aspires to be!
The free downloadable posters, created by Nevertheless, feature eight trailblazing women who have made an impact in STEM fields. Each poster is also uniquely designed by a different female artist from around the world. The posters below are also available in seven other languages, through zipped folders that contain all eight posters in Brazilian Portuguese, French, French Canadian, German, Italian, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.
Definitely check them out on this link!
Thank you for tuning in this Monday, happy reading! 💌
