2020, theWorld Bank estimated that girls under the age of 15 represented almost 42% of the Sub -SaharanAfrican female population [3]. This difference is even more staggering while looking at STEMeducation in rural areas. For example, in Senegal, like in many parts of the world, biased socialbeliefs argue that mathematical sciences and physics are a mark of excellence, which are notmade for girls [4]. Girls with lower grades in their scientific classes will often be forced to switchfrom their original STEM choice to literary fields because it is considered more fitting to women[5]. Considering that the global market is becoming increasingly more STEM oriented all overthe world, encouraging more Sub-Saharan girls to pursue STEM education could
