Synthesis for STEM-focused Research
Synthesizing STEM research can be a very difficult process for many educators. As with any type of research, we know that it takes time and often requires school teachers and administrators be to strategic in reading and interpreting many texts. Although it may be a difficult process, it works best at preparing teachers to learn and incorporate STEM in the classroom. I have listed some common themes around STEM education as well as the research that binds them together.

Chronicles of a Research Intern #1
Okay, brief introduction of myself. I study maths and physics at uni and just finished first year with an average of 1st. Pretty good taking into account I'm an international student with English as a Second Language. I could have done better but I'm proud of myself. But leaving the course apart, I'm here to write about my first experience as a research intern.

I Wish More of My Teachers Had Said "I Don't Know". Top Story - June 2019.
I always loved science. My brain is wired analytically, and I always did well enough at anything quantitative. I also crave new knowledge, and I’ve always been too ambitious for my own good.

Youth Time: The Youth Global Forum Is a Great Opportunity for Potential Youth Leaders and World-Changers, Don’t Miss It
Humanity is faced with one of the most challenging questions in the century, which experts, entrepreneurs, innovators, and youth leaders will tackle at the upcoming 5th Annual Youth Global Forum. The event is organized by Youth Time International Movement, an NGO created by young people, as a platform of dialogue between ‘cultures and generations.’ Youth Time’s goal is to engage other youths from all over the world to acquire knowledge, skills, and network to develop youth potential for social leadership and pro-active participation in their civic responsibility for a better and more sustainable future for both old and new generations.

Why I Became a Scientist
A short time ago, I was approached with a job offer to work in an on-site R&D lab. After so many years of working in retail and neither making the money I needed to get by, nor to help my nieces, I jumped at the opportunity. I was left with a little over a month at my job of four years, and a lot of goodbyes ahead. This transition also left me with a lot of time for reflection. Why did I even choose to become a scientist in the first place? How did I wind up on the path to an Engineering degree?

A Man's World?
For years, men have dominated the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. If I looked around my Maths C class, I see just three girls compared to a whopping 21 boys. But why is this? Is it because they aren't as intellectually capable? Lack of interest? Or a lack of enthusiasm? Shouldn't we be encouraging more diversity in such important fields of study? By encouraging more females into these fields, they could be apart of a new discovery that could change the world.
