Capstone Exercise

You are developing a report for your sociology class about the roles of women in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. After doing some research, you begin to see that throughout history, women have had very few opportunities in these areas for historical and societal reasons.

You want to demonstrate to your classmates the key and increas-ingly important role women ave played in STEM advances. You will use your PowerPoint presentation to inform them of some key contributors in the STEM areas. In this capstone project, you concentrate on developing the content of the presentation.

Design Template

f. Create a handout header with your tame and a handout footer with your instructor's name and your class. Include the current date. Apply to all slides.

Outline and Modifications

Based on the storyboard you created after researching women in STEM on the Internet. you type the outline of your presentation. As you create the outline. you also modify the outline structure.

a. Open Outline view.

b. Type Name 3 women in STEM as the title for Slide 2.

c. Type each of the following as Level 1 bullets for Slide 2: My biology teacher. My computer applications teacher. My math teacher.

d. Type Think on a bigger scale as the title for Slide 3. Enter each of the Ibilowing as Level I bullets for Slide 3: National names?. and International names?

e. Add this speaker note to Slide 3: These may be hard questions to answer quickly because there are relatively few women in these fields.

g. Type each of the following as Level 1 bullets for Slide 4: Sally Ride. Christ a McAuliffe.

h. Add this speaker note to Slide 4: For different reasons, both of these women were important in the development of the aerospace industry.

Imported Outline

You have an outline on women in STEM that was created in Microsoft Word and also a slide show on that topic. You reuse this content to build your slide show.

a. Position the insertion point at the end of the outline after Slide 4.

b. Use the Slides from Outline option to insert the p02c1 Stem outline.

c. Delete Slide 5 and any blank slides.

d. View a slide show from the beginning.

e. Move Slide 5 to just before Slide 8.

Sections

To facilitate organization of the presentation and movin between the slides. you create sections.

• Women in STEM

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

• Limited number of women in these areas

Few role models

Historical not permitted to attend universities

Societal expected to care for their families

• Prior to the 20th century
