MIT senior Kirin Sinha talks with FOX 25 about the SHINE for Girls program, which uses dance to get young girls excited about math and science. Sinha, who founded the program, says SHINE provides a content-based curriculum that teaches self-confidence along with math skills.
“Sinha, a senior at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is majoring in theoretical math and computer science and electrical engineering -- fields that have remained heavily dominated by men,” Boston Globe reporter Carolyn Johnson writes of the SHINE for Girls program, founded by Kirin Sinha, that teaches young girls math through dance.
