TL;DR
Sylvan Learning encourages women to learn about STEM fields through programs and events. Sylvan offers STEM programs designed to be engaging and hands-on for students.
“Engineering is typically a male-dominated field. The main reason for that is a lack of understanding and awareness,” Jan said. “As we celebrate this day, the objective is to bring that awareness and show how engineers—man or woman—can be a major contributor to society.”
Wooley and Jan also discussed the many STEM programs that Sylvan offers, which are designed to be engaging, fun and hands-on for students.
“We’re proud to have a technology driven, kid friendly environment at Sylvan,” Jan said.
