After we conducted interviews and went on many field works, my group was ready to share what we learned and found out about the discrimination of women in the workplace and the glass ceiling. We learned about what kinds of discrimination there are, like men with less experience getting the job a woman with more experience was competing with him for, or men with less experience being payed twice as much. We interviewed and heard stories of female doctors, directors, bankers, foundation leaders, CEO’s and heard about the obstacles they faced to get where they are and how to overcome them. We shared this information with some of the 5th – 7th graders in our workshop with a board game. In this board game there were male and female characters and different obstacles for the different genders boys and girls that attended our workshop saw how hard it was for women to break the glass ceiling and pass these barriers. We brought awareness to our community by sharing with them all that we learned.
