The purpose of #MakeWhatsNext Snapp adds, is “to pique their excitement in how they can change the world — if they stay engaged.”

Here’s is the new video that challenges young women to stay in STEM A new video challenges girls to stay in STEM to be better equipped to tackle the world’s problems, whether it be curing cancer or finding ways to combat climate change.

Snapp believes Microsoft and other companiesneed to “invest time, energy and resources in a number of key areas” to attract more young women to STEM. These 4 key areas include:

Microsoft and LinkedIn launched anew experimental tool to promote #MakeWhatsNextand show how young women can pursue their passions in STEM careers. Snapp notes that “research continues to demonstrate that female role models are crucial for inspiring girls to stay in STEM.”
