Alyssa‘s talk is a reflection on her Math Team experience, which sparked her interest in understanding girls‘ confidence in math and science. She presents research showing that gender and socioeconomic gaps in STEM share similar root causes, such as limited early exposure, lack of encouragement, stereotypes, and a shortage of role models. Drawing from her work as a peer tutor and student teacher, Alyssa offers practical ways we can begin to close these gaps. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
