24. Flashdance (What a Feeling): Girls and Coding Magic
What did you want to be when you were younger? I bet it was not your current career. Dr. Sharon Jones wanted to be a radio dj called Sharky Sharon and instead became the founder of the Dottie Rose Foundation, which encourages and supports girls in the STEM fields. In this episode, Sharon talks with Elizabeth about how interests change throughout our life and that is ok. When we embrace curiosity and learning, we can develop our STEM strengths and apply them in any number of careers. Dr. Sharon Jones is the brainchild behind the Dottie Rose Foundation, which encourages girls to find their STEM strength through classes, workshops, and camps.

3 ways to encourage your exploration in STEM:
- Own what you love. If you love math, say you love math outloud, let people know. The same goes for reading, biking, jewelry, etc. Be proud of what you love and let others know about it. This is the start of making connections and exploring those interests.
- Find your tribe. Once you’ve let people know what you love, you can find your people and support one another as you explore this combined interest. Finding your people is a key to college success and happiness.
- Keep learning. What you loved when you were little, might not be the same as you grow older. Be curious and willing to try new things, you never know where it will take you.
