New Verizon Video Shows The Joy That STEM Can Bring To Girls

Earlier this year Verizon launched #InspireHerMind, a campaign that focuses on the importance of closing the gender gap in STEM. At the time, the company released a surprisingly emotional commercial about the dangers of prioritizing girls’ appearance over their intellect; in this longer video, Verizon shows off its STEM programming and reveals what happens when young women are given a chance to fall in love with science and tech. (Spoiler alert: great things.)
