FREE MULTILINGUAL POSTERS of Female Role Models in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics - Illustrated by female artists from South America, Africa, the Middle East, & China

From NEVERTHELESS PODCAST - A podcast celebrating the women transforming teaching and learning through technology.

"At the end of NEVERTHELESS SEASON TWO, we commissioned another four female illustrators from South America, Africa, the Middle East and China to produce a new set of posters. We now have eight beautiful posters in our collection for you to download. The women featured serve as amazing role models in their fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (or STEM as it’s often referred to). You can listen to our episode on STEM Role Models, too.

We’d love you to download the posters and print them out for your school or workplace. By taking part, you’ll help raise awareness of their achievements, and hopefully inspire a new generation of women working in STEM."

You can now download the posters in the following languages: French, French (Canadian), German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Simplified Chinese, and English

To download posters, read the blog, & hear inspiring podcasts http://bit.ly/2UgwPd5
