DFW area programs and organizations are working to introduce girls to STEM at a younger age in order for them to develop a passion for math and sciences and later the confidence to lead in these male-dominated fields.
This weekend, the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas will officially open its STEM Center of Excellence at Camp Whispering Cedars. It's the first time an entire Girl Scouts camp property has been dedicated to science, technology, engineering, and math education.
The exhibit showcases the impact of first ladies including Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, Jackie Kennedy, Dolley Madison, Michelle Obama, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
