the european commission is trying to get young girls interested signs that we do
have an issue here in the united states as well where young kids are not getting
involved in science enough especially young girls well the european commission
has a very creative way to get women
or gather all citizens itself
the picture that had significantly the desire at consists of these girls you
know
uh... flaunting their fachet and their makeup and you're posing with light
their lab coat and they're showing that scientist what four-dimensional pag di
scientist for you just doesn't know what hit and he doesn't know what he's
missing science when he's not wearing high heels and short skirts and
it's intrinsic obviously needed realize yes thank you
i think that science especially among young kids is seen as something that's
you proof the and uh... it's not something at the popular kids get
involved in it's not seen as something that's hit or cool
and a few there
at you know what they were attempting to do with this video is to make signs
appealing and although an n c three young girl strength
and i think that that kind of failed because too much of the act was focused
on the girls to invest
tendered lam is online ki aapne not a little less of that
and a little more of the petri dishes and being one hundred percent favor of
it because
you gotta think dot were were older obviously any we look at that really
really the make up the fashion plate
but one of the same thing
went to a wet wet are the priorities for kids and it's too look forward to look
at you and i feel like the ad attempted to do that
well you know i mean i think that's about position and i a time
miami standing at how time their science players among kids is that across
generally if you if you give them i guess
if you've given
um... the kinds of toys that are traditionally given two boys and you
don't you know two's four then be gender specific toys that they get to play with
still actually gravitates toward items like you know like legos more
engineering and seven eighths and when they moved further along in school i
think the public school and a private school system in a great deal to add to
that
because teachers
avenue unintentional bias sometimes i know i got a very strong very
intentional bias from
my high school science teachers that actually flat-out told eyes you know
girls you really shouldn't go into science career cancer just taking a job
away from the man who's got a supportive family democrats hold that so you know a
date has changed it has shifted someone and you know we do have this
extreme need to encourage our kids these days
to get into the stand
i visited the stamina and areas estonians technology engineering and
mathematics
on because we have a great need for engineering
in the future right now and in the future
i know i would be interested in seeing how this plays out my anger they pulled
the ads and standard people react because they got criticism for that so
you know lives such as ourselves criticize them for their like ok fine
maybe this was a good idea but what's really interesting is
this particular add received ten times as many hits
then that could be the so
this is their attempt to be at the scene was to get attention
i don't know middle school kids are going to see some ab with added some
european notified them of sciences great engineering is awesome
you should definitely get involved
don't watch that they're not interested in a it up
film you think you have some he started up a little bit caswell does what they
were trying to do
you're trying to see you
uh... you don't push female stereotypes and it looks that way but i really feel
like they're part of the replacement i would definitely yet so i think they
were they were trying very hard to do and the right thing out for freedom
getting young girls interest in saying hey you know i remember
interest you know makeup is chemistry
and it got something that might attract some girls at the tracks those girls on
adapter curriculum that more power to him
