Digital Media Academy aims to close gap of women in STEM fields

The University of Louisville is hoping to get more sixth grade girls, many of them from low income families, to take an interest in technology and engineering. That’s the goal of the Digital Media Academy according to academy director and UofL professor Andrea Olinger.

“There is such a huge disparity of women in the STEM fields” Olinger says, “so we see this camp partly as a matter of economic justice.”
