Advances in STEM Should Include Opportunities for Young Girls and Minorities Continued from Page 1

Ever since I was first elected to the Texas State House, I have dedicated my career to bringing attention to these issues and the advancement smart policies to address them. While in Congress, I have introduced the STEM Opportunities Act that would increase diversity in STEM in colleges and universities, enrich our STEM workforce and create more role models for female and minori‐ ty students much earlier in the pipeline. More recently, I cosponsored a bi‐partisan bill, H.R.3316, the Code Like a Girl Act of 2017. This bill, introduced by my colleague Congresswoman Jacky Rosen Spiritually Speaking: (D‐NV), requires the National Science Foundation to support education and research projects to increase the participation of early elementary and even pre‐K school girls in coding and other com‐ James Washington puter science lessons and activities.
