# Celebrating Women in STEM
In the U.S., women are vastly underrepresented in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) fields, holding under 25% of STEM jobs and a disproportionately low share of STEM undergraduate degrees. Great Unsung Women in Computing is a series of three award-winning documentary films that show how women revolutionized the computing and Internet technology we use today which, in turn, has inspired female students to believe that programming careers lie within their grasp.

Every March, we are encouraged to study and reflect on the vital role of women in American history and to celebrate the contributions of historical trailblazers. It's also a great time to uplift all of the contemporary female leaders in the arts, sciences, government, business, and technology who have followed in their footsteps and to confront the issues they continue to face in those fields.
