"Emma's surprisingly good at coding. Who would've thought ?"
Explanation:
This remark suggests that it's unusual or unexpected for girls to excel in coding. It reinforces the harmful stereotype that coding is not a natural fit for girls, potentially discouraging female students from pursuing computer science.
University Brochures Display
STEM program brochures prominently feature male students, while arts and humanities brochures feature more women.
Explanation
This advice is based on the idea that women are naturally better at healthcare and biology because of their supposed empathy. In reality, skills and interests are not distributed according to gender. Women and men can excel in all areas, even those not traditionally attributed to them.
"If you like science, why not try disciplines like nutrition or healthcare, which are often more “feminine”?"
Calling all moms: Bake sale for the robotics club!
This request perpetuates the gender stereotype that women are primarily responsible for domestic tasks like baking. It also suggests that women's contributions to STEM activities are limited to supportive roles rather than direct involvement in the technical aspects.
Explanation:
By exclusively featuring male programmers, this poster erases the contributions of women in computer science history. It perpetuates the false narrative that programming is a male-dominated field and fails to provide female role models for students. This can discourage girls from seeing themselves as potential innovators in the field.
Explanation
"Of course Lisa got the highest score in biology. Girls are better at memorizing stuff"
Attributes success to gender-based traits rather than individual effort and understanding.

Top 10 Scientists of the Year
By exclusively featuring male scientists, this magazine cover ignores the contributions of women in science. It perpetuates the false notion that significant scientific achievements are primarily made by men, potentially discouraging girls from aspiring to high-level scientific careers.
Explanation
Asserting that all girls have better communication skills reinforces a damaging gender stereotype. Communication skills are not determined by gender, but by individual aptitudes. It is crucial to avoid perpetuating stereotypes that limit people's choices on the basis of their gender.
"Girls often have good communication skills, which can help them in social careers."
Tech Summer Camp
While the poster aims to promote tech education, its design unintentionally perpetuates gender stereotypes. A more inclusive approach would show diverse representation in both activities, use neutral color schemes, and focus on the skills and experiences offered rather than implying gender suitability.
Robotics club poster
The Robotics club poster features an image solely depicting boys, inadvertently sending the message that this activity is only for boys. This visual representation excludes girls and reinforces the stereotype that robotics is a male-dominated field, potentially discouraging girls from participating.
Explanation
"Let's split into teams. Girls can work on the design, boys on the mechanics."
Divides tasks based on gender stereotypes, limiting learning opportunities for all students.
Explanation
"It's normal for you to get good notes, it's easier when you're a girl"
This comment perpetuates the stereotype that girls are inherently better at schoolwork, diminishing the efforts of female students. It discourages boys from developing organizational skills and pressures girls to conform to gendered expectations.
Explanation
"I don't need to understand this math. I'm going to be an artist anyway."
Reinforces the false dichotomy between STEM and arts, potentially discouraging well-rounded education.

"Emily, your handwriting is so neat! Can you write up the lab report ?"
Reinforces gender stereotypes about neat handwriting and assigns administrative tasks based on gender.
Explanation
it perpetuates the false belief that inherent talent in tech is based on gender, excluding and discouraging girls from pursuing careers in technology. It reinforces harmful stereotypes and contributes to the lack of diversity in the tech industry.
"You rarely see girls in tech because guys have this inherent talent for it, it's just the way it is."
Needed: Dads to fix the science lab equipment
This notice reinforces the stereotype that men are naturally more adept at technical tasks. It implies that women are not capable or expected to handle equipment repairs, potentially discouraging girls from engaging with technical aspects of STEM subjects.
University Brochures Display
STEM program brochures prominently feature male students, while arts and humanities brochures feature more women.
Explanation
"Computer science involves a lot of solitary work. You seem like you'd prefer something more social."
Perpetuates the stereotype that STEM careers lack social interaction, often discouraging girls who are perceived as more social.
