[EDEQUITY Dialogue] possible funding priorities

What about public-oriented projects (media, advertising, etc) to overcome
stereotypes of high-tech, high-paying, science, and math career fields. It
would be great to offer public role models of women who work in these
fields, get great pay and benefits, AND raise families. Maybe more girls
would consider these fields if the image in the general public could be
changed.

I see this a bit differently than career education, in that the target
population would be the general public, rather than girls specifically.
