  • Did you know some extraordinary women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math feel invisible in their fields? This Talk explores what it means to be a female hidden figure in STEM and what one can do to change it. Alexis M. Scott is a Triple E: Educator, Entrepreneur and Engineer. She founded AMS Academic Solutions to share her gift of numbers and education that she has possessed since an early age. Alexis has been teaching mathematics for over 20 years, including 18 years as a college professor. She published one book in 2017 called "Embracing STEM Smarts: An Encouraging Guide for Young Ladies to be Bold in Their Intelligence." Alexis will have two books coming out later this year involving her work in STEM. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

    I'm in love with you and words. This speech pushes me to work harder to achieve what I have been craving for all my life. I'm 18 and I'm going to make the best of myself.

    This happened to me at the University of Wisconsin- Madison when I taught a course while completing my doctorate.

    You're going to be challenged in the STEM field no matter your immutable characteristics, do not assume someone is victimizing you when they're challenging you. Study hard, strive to be the best at what you do and people will notice it and people will appreciate you for what you've achieved not for what you are.

      But they were victimizing her. Why did that teacher accuse her of cheating instead of accepting that she did well? Why are statistics showing such low numbers of girls believing in themselves in STEM?

    Women in Stem? The only stems you should worry about are the stems on some flowers sweetie, go work in a flower shop.
