Debbie Sterling a female engineer talked about how she became an engineer. She also talked about how she went through many challenges before just succeeding as an engineer. In her engineer class in college, she was one of the only girls in her class. Debbie Sterling talks about the reason the United States only has 11% women engineers is because girls grow up playing with dolls and princesses. This is because of the culture we come from.
Being engineer means that you invent, create and build anything you can imagine. Though the majority of engineers are men Debbie Sterling still majored in engineering. She keeps repeating in the Ted Talk that she “doesn’t fit it”. Like I said before the majority of engineers are men and to fit she worked extra hard. Debbie Sterling then created a kids toy which incorporated reading and motor skills. In the toy, you create things while following along with the book. Debbie got shut down many times but she never gave up no matter what. Her toy is now selling a lot and helping kids especially girls with understanding engineering at a young age.
