Tips from debbie berebichez-
Everyone should encourage curiosity in each other - at school, at home and when doing activities! Questions are great, and it’s ok to not know the answer. Do experiments wherever you can and you can find science wherever you look.

That’s a trait that will help you wherever you end up.
-
You will encounter obstacles - technical obstacles, discrimination, and challenges that are inherent in science - but with every issue, keep in mind that the one who wins the race is not the one for whom things were easy, but the one who gets up after every fall.

STEP UP is a national movement to provide high school physics teachers with resources to reduce barriers and inspire young women to major in physics. Drawing on research evidence, STEP UP will mobilize thousands of high school physics teachers to reduce barriers and inspire young women to pursue physics degrees in college. The goal is to increase the representation of women amongst physics bachelor’s degrees and begin to shift deep-seated cultural views about who does physics.
