Etsy loves STEM

[delphipsmith]

That would be "science, technology, engineering and mathematics," fields in which (as we all know) there aren't enough women -- but Etsy's doing its bit to change that. They're hosting the summer 2012 session of Hacker School at Etsy headquarters, AND they’re providing ten Etsy Hacker Grants of $5,000 each — a total of $50,000 — to women who want to go but need financial support to do so.

How fantabulous is that?? (Thanks to spacefem who initially posted on it.)

hacker school? I am so out of the loop.

Women dont stay in engineering because it is very hard to advance in this field. But the pay is good and the gender gap not so horrid.
