Equality in STEM Supporting Participants and Instagram Frame Participants
This photo essay consist of our performance and the supporters who shared the same views about Gender Inequality and female in the STEM fields. Our setting started in the Vorhees building of our campus where most of the technology students are. We then moved to the Namm Building to interact with other students.
-
- Voorhes Campus, houses most of City Tech’s STEM students. We picked this location to start our performance.
-
- (Vorhees Hall) As we were speaking to other students about Gender Inequality and handing out fortune cookies and zines , we noticed these two young men observing our performance. To feed their curiosity we approached them and shared our ephemera and informed them about STEMFemme. Kindly enough they took a photo with one of our group members Ivana.
-
- STEMFemme was looking for other participators throughout the Voorhes cafeteria, when a young female student who was on her way to buy lunch crossed our paths ! She was one of the few females we encountered who’s studies is also in technology. Happy to see women advocating for one another, she excitingly posed for a picture and was receptive of our performance.
-
- These two friends were engaged in their own conversations in the hallway near the Voorhes computer lab when STEMFemme graciously intervened to speak to them about Gender Inequality. They opened the fortune cookie and was delightedly supported by reading the gender equality fortune.
-
- As we were performing in the Voorhes Hall, Danielle Ali spotted her former class mate, who’s major is Computer Tech. We began informing him about our cause and he gladly supported and accepted a fortune cookie and zine to learn more about Gender Inequality.
-
- Namm Building Entry to Lunch Room We chose this open space because of the high traffic of students who are constantly entering and exiting the lunchroom as well as lounging in the hall. We know that student of various of majors would be the audience for our performance.
-
- Namm Cafeteria with usual amount of students.
-
- Game room in the Namm Building. Mostly filled with male students, interacting with one nother and playing games.
-
- Our performance carried out to City Tech’s gaming lounge in the Namm Hall. Unsurprisingly there were mostly males in there, so we gravitated to one of the females who was sitting alone listening to music. She seemed shy at first but was willing to listen to our advocacy for Gender Equality, and including more women into the STEM field.
-
- (Gaming Room, Namm Building) Soooo hungry for gender equality and including more females in the STEM field, that they each took 2 extra fortune cookies !
-
- (Gaming Room in Namm Building) Our inspirational fortune cookies encouraged these two young men to support our social issue by posing in our Instagram frame.
-
- Hallway outside of library in Namm Building. Plenty of students lounge in this area.
-
- This young gentlemen lounging outside of City Tech’s Library in the Atrium was happy to assist and support STEMFemme! By far one of the easiest male student to approach, respectful, supportive, and concerned about our social issue.
-
- (Library in Atrium) One of our biggest supporter from the Architecture Technology department and our fellow class mate supported STEMFemme.
