March 5, 2010 – Andrea Gordon Family Issues Reporter – Ask Mubina Chunara how to solve a high school algebra equation and chances are she will come up with the solution lickety-split.
But ask the 15-year-old Brampton student about the range of career choices she might have as a math major and the answers haven’t always come as easily.
It wasn’t until Mubina spent a girls-only weekend at University of Waterloo, hosted by a team of enthusiastic female math graduates, that the possibilities multiplied.
“Before I went, math was something I was good at but wouldn’t necessarily look at as a career,” says Mubina, who attended the first Think About Math conference last spring. “But it opened my eyes. I will definitely stick at it.”
Mubina and 39 other girls had discussions with women in a range of math-related careers. They learned they could use math skills to develop online social networks like Facebook, build fashion businesses or help the environment.
