FAQ's
Here are some answers to questions you might have about my project.
Who can be involved
Anyone who has a steady, long-term job that falls under STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).
What is STEM and what jobs fall under this CATEGORY
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, and it is about using concepts such as problem solving, critical thinking, learning, and innovation outside of a classroom in real world situations. STEM jobs are necessary for the future, and the need for these jobs is expected to grow immensely in the next few years. Because these jobs are so important for the future and require divergent thinking, it is adamant that we continue to encourage young women, who have been discouraged in the past, to choose these careers.
STEM Job fields:
Medical, Archeology, Anthropology, Chemistry, Engineering, Dental, Social Sciences, Computer Studies, Robotics, Teachers of STEM subjects, Physics, Economics, Genetics, Forensics, Geology, Pharmacology, Biology, Pollical Sciences, Food sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Zoology, and many other fields. Here is a link for a full, in-depth list.

How to get involved
All you have to do is fill out a quick questionnaire with a few questions about your career at the following link.
Do i have to be a Presentation academy graduate to participate?
No, you do not have to have graduated from Presentation Academy to be a part of the directory.
Can i be a student to participate?
In order to keep the information in the directory accurate for the longest possible time, I ask that you only provide your contact information if you are in a long-term and permanent position. So, if this applies to you, and you’re a college graduate, you may apply.
What does the question, “Would you be interested in coming in speaking to Pres Girls?” mean?
As a second part to my project, I want to get the contacts in the directory to come and speak to Pres girls, so that we can connect face to face. It would be talking to the girls about your job and how you’ve overcome sexism in the workforce.
When will the directory be completed?
The directory will be completed by the end of the 2018-2019 school year.
what are the disclaimers on the QUESTIONNAIRE and why do I have to agree?
The disclaimers are there to protect you and give me permission to publish your contact information.
How are you going to organize the directory?
The directory will be organized by what STEM category the job falls under. Under each branch you will find a list of people with their contact information grouped together by their career. for example, say you were trying to find a civil engineer, you would look under the engineering category, and then specifically look for a section titles civil engineering.
