Girls sweep top awards at national STEM contest for middle schoolers

At a national science and engineering competition for middle school students, girls took home all five top awards for the first time this year.

Maya Ajmera, president and CEO of the Society for Science & the Public, told ABC News she is excited about the future of women in STEM. This year, there were 18 girls and 12 boys who made it to Washington for the competition. "We transform them from seeing themselves as a student who is interested in science and engineering to someone who sees themselves as a scientist and engineer," Paula Golden, president of the Broadcom Foundation, told ABC News.

Gassler got the idea after seeing her mother's frustration with blind spots and looking up statistics on how many blind-spot accidents took place each year, she told ABC. She designed a system that included a webcam to show anything covered by a blind spot. Other top winners included Rachel Bergey of Harleysville, Pennsylvania; Sidor Clare of Sandy, Utah; Alexis MacAvoy of Hillsborough, California; and Lauren Ejiaga of New Orleans, Louisiana.

"It was a really beautiful and emotional moment," she told ABC News."If she continues, she can help herself, help her family, help her community and help the world."

How about covering this? Why did your network choose to bury a story about a notorious billionaire pedophile three years ago? Nobody believes your 'we didn't have enough evidence' excuse. What about the girls who were used and abused? Are you covering them?

Jeffrey Epstein ?

Sounds extremely sexist and misandrist
