How Do You Develop More Female Engineers?
如何培养更多的女工程师
Not enough American students want to be engineers, mathematicians, or scientists. The Obama administration wants to change that. They are spending money to do it. The government will invest three billion dollars in the education of young Americans in science, technology, engineering, and math. The four areas together are known as STEM.
没有那么多的美国学生愿意成为工程师、数学家或者工程师。奥巴马政府希望改变这一状态。政府拨了很多钱来做这件事。美国政府会继续在年轻人的科学、技术、工程和数学教育方面投资30亿美元。这四个领域被称为STEM。
Many jobs in the STEM fields will open in the coming years. The U.S. government's investment aims to increase the number of Americans who can take those jobs.
接下来几年这四个领域会有很多工作机会,美国政府的投资就是希望增加能够胜任这些工作的美国人数。
Yet girls appear far less interested in STEM subjects than boys. Only 25 percent of STEM students are girls.
相比男孩而言,女孩对这些领域的兴趣大大减少。STEM领域中,女生所占比例只有25%。
Camsie McAdams is at the U.S. Education Department. She says girls simply do not feel welcomed in STEM subjects. Ms. McAdams says young women look at industries such as engineering and computer science and see most of the leaders are men.
卡姆瑟·麦克亚当斯是美国教育部的工作人员。她说女孩觉得在这些科学、技术、工程和数学领域并不吃香。麦克亚当斯表示年轻女孩认为这些工程和电脑科学领域,大部分是男生占主导地位。
"We, as women, want to have people that look like us, people that we can relate to. A lot of times what distracts people from entering the field, or, even when they get the degree, keeps them from wanting to work in the field, is because they don't feel welcomed."
“我们作为女生,希望人们喜欢我们,我们可以接触到一些人。很多时候,干扰人们进入这个领域或者即使她们获得文凭,而不再这个领域工作的原因是他们感觉自己不受欢迎。”
Debbie Sterling is an engineer. She invented a construction toy for girls. The name of the toy is "Goldie Blox." Ms. Sterling hopes Goldie Blox will help girls develop spatial skills. Spatial skills help engineers and builders to think about objects in three dimensions.
黛比·斯特林是一位工程师。她为女孩发明一种建筑玩具。玩具的名字叫“Goldie Blox”。斯特林希望这种“Goldie Blox”能够帮助女孩开发空间辨别技能。空间辨别技能会帮助工程师和建筑师用三维立体的方式思考目标物。
To interest girls, Sterling created the character "Goldie." Goldie does not care about beauty or clothes. Goldie tells stories, solves difficult problems and creates pretend worlds.
为了激发女孩的兴趣,斯特林创造了“Goldie”这个形象,她不关心美貌或者衣服,Goldie会讲故事、解决难题,还可以创设虚拟世界。
Mia is a seven-year-old girl who likes science. In her room, she has no fashion dolls. Instead, she has a pegboard, wheels, blocks and an inventor's journal to write her observations.
7岁的女孩米亚喜欢科学,在她的房间里,没有时尚的芭比娃娃,取而代之的是一个挂板、一些轮子、积木和发明者日记,来记下她的观察发现。
Mia received a set of Goldie Blox from her grandmother. She learned to make a machine with the blocks.
米亚从奶奶那里得到“Goldie Blox”这份礼物。她学习用这些积木弄出一台机器。
"When my grandmother first sent me the present, a spinning machine, I was really excited. I knew it had to do with engineering, so I grabbed the box and opened it. Then I went for more -- I went to the web site; I went on YouTube to find more videos. My mom asked me why I was just watching videos instead of building. I told her I didn't have enough pieces. She got me the builder survival kit."
“奶奶第一次把礼物送给我时,是个旋转的机器,我收到礼物非常开心。我知道这个礼物跟工程有些关联,所以就抓住盒子,然后打开。然后进行进一步的探索——上网查阅资料,我去YouTube网站找更多的视频。妈妈问我为什么只看视频,而不动手做一做呢。我告诉她我没有材料,她给我买了一套建造工具。”
Experts say parents should do more than just buy toys to interest their girls in STEM subjects. They should also provide a good education. At school, girls should participate in projects that require teamwork and creative thinking.
专家称父母应该做更多,而不仅仅是给孩子买一些玩具来激起她们对STEM科目的兴趣。他们还需要给孩子提供良好的教育。在学校,女孩子需要参与到需要团队合作和创造性思维的项目中。
Women in scientific and technical jobs are also working to encourage young women to explore STEM. One is Anu Tewary. She studied Applied Physics and worked for technology companies. After she had a daughter, she started Technovation Challenge. The challenge is an international competition for young women from 10 to 18 years old.
在科学和技术领域工作的女性激励着年轻的女性进一步探索STEM领域。一位是安尤·特维尔。她学习研究应用物理,在一家科技公司工作。生完女儿后,她开始技术革新的挑战。这个挑战是为全球10-18岁的年轻女性举办的国际竞赛。
Technovation offers girls the opportunity to learn how to start a company and become high-tech entrepreneurs. Since 2009, over 2,500 girls from 28 countries have developed 650 mobile phone applications. They learned to launch start-up companies through Technovation.
技术革新为女孩如何创办公司,成为高科技的企业家提供学习机会。自从2009年起,有来自28个国家的2500多名女孩参与65.部移动手机的应用开发。她们通过技术创新推出创业公司。
There's a good chance that soon, more young women using mobile phones will also be developing programs for them.
很有可能过不了多久,越来越多年轻女孩使用专门为她们研发的程序的手机。
