From the The White House Council on Women and Girls:
Women and girls continue to be significantly underrepresented in the STEM fields—a trend that starts early and comes at a serious cost to both the career prospects of our young women and the success of our economy.

By ensuring women and girls receive the exposure, encouragement and support they need to enter, and succeed in, STEM fields, this country can benefit from the full range and diversity of its talent.
The White House Council on Women and Girls is excited to announce a White House event that features a panel of trailblazing women in STEM fields who will share their experiences and encourage young women to follow in their footsteps—or blaze a trail of their own.
This event will also include the very first public screening of “Girls in STEM,” a video on girls in STEM, featuring footage from girls who participated in the 2012 White House Science Fair.
