About Project Root to STEM

My name is Fiona Schweig, and I'm working on a project to help inspire female-identifying students to get into STEM and to try to narrow the gender gaps in these fields. In each episode, I interview a new, inspiring woman in STEM. I believe that by connecting students to positive female role models, we can create a new generation of female scientists, mathematicians, and engineers who will lead the way to an equal future. This project is for my Girl Scouts Gold Award.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
