WAMC/Northeast Public Radio is producing two radio series to be broadcast throughout the US on WAMC's nationally syndicated radio programs 51%--about and affecting women, and The Best of Our Knowledge.a show about education, educational policy, innovation, and research. The first series is nine sound-rich, feature-length, magazine style radio modules covering innovative gender equity programs and projects throughout the nation, highlighting successful methods and strategies for increasing the participation of girls and young women in STEM education and careers. The second series is three multi-segment "audio-diary" radio stories which will allow individual young women who have chosen a course of study in a STEM field or career, or are currently working in such a field, to tell her own story. Both will also be available for listening on the Internet (WAMC's Women in STEM website) and distributed nationally to targeted audiences on compact disc. The intellectual merit of this project lies in WAMC's radio programming placing a national spotlight on specific teaching styles, curriculum designs, pedagogical approaches, and studies that have contributed to the knowledge base addressing gender-related differences in learning, and have promoted educational experiences that positively affect student interest, performance, and choice of careers; and how these programs and projects have made a measurable impact on the national effort to increase the participation of girls and young women in STEM. As a "storyteller," WAMC anticipates the following broader impacts associated with this project: * Reaching and educating a nationwide audience of radio listeners about the nationwide effort to close the gender gap in STEM education and careers; * Reaching and educating a targeted audience of girls and young women (with a priority emphasis on minority and disabled populations) who will have the opportunity to learn that STEM education and careers are possible and within reach; * Reaching and educating a targeted audience of parents, educators, academics, institutional and organizational leaders providing them with stories about model programs and stories they can use to further their efforts to increase the participation of girls and young women in STEM.

WAMC/东北公共广播电台正在制作两个广播系列节目，将在WAMC的全国联合广播节目51%-关于和影响妇女-和《我们最好的知识》-一个关于教育、教育政策、创新和研究的节目上在全美国播出。 第一个系列是九个声音丰富，长篇，杂志风格的广播模块，涵盖全国各地的创新性别平等方案和项目，突出成功的方法和战略，增加女孩和年轻妇女在STEM教育和职业中的参与。 第二个系列是三个多段的“音频日记”广播故事，这将允许选择STEM领域或职业的学习课程或目前正在这一领域工作的年轻女性讲述自己的故事。 这两个节目也可在互联网上收听（妇女媒体中心的妇女参与科学、技术、工程和数学网站），并以光盘形式向全国目标受众分发。 该项目的智力价值在于，妇女媒体中心的广播节目在全国范围内突出了具体的教学风格、课程设计、教学方法和研究，这些都有助于建立解决学习中与性别有关的差异的知识库，并促进了对学生兴趣、成绩和职业选择产生积极影响的教育经验;以及这些计划和项目如何对国家提高女孩和年轻妇女参与STEM的努力产生了可衡量的影响。 作为一个“讲故事的人”，WAMC预计该项目将产生以下更广泛的影响：* 接触并教育全国广播听众，了解全国为缩小STEM教育和职业中的性别差距所做的努力;* 接触和教育目标受众女孩和年轻妇女（优先关注少数民族和残疾人），他们将有机会了解STEM教育和职业是可能的，并且触手可及;* 接触和教育目标受众的父母，教育工作者，学者，机构和组织领导人，为他们提供有关示范方案的故事和故事，他们可以用来进一步努力增加女孩和年轻妇女在STEM中的参与。
