What if women built the world they want to see? | Emily Pilloton-Lam

Description

Only four percent of construction workers are female -- that's totally unacceptable, but it's also a huge opportunity both for women and for the trades, says youth educator and builder Emily Pilloton-Lam. She makes the case for putting power (and power tools) into the hands of young women and gender-expansive youth, dreaming of inclusive construction sites and daring to ask: What if women built the world they want to see? (Plus, Pilloton-Lam dazzles with a live demo of her own woodworking skills ... while giving the talk.)

Why did she think it was a cool idea to use power tools during a speech? Just wanted to show that women can "build" too? Awful. Worst way to show. Ruined all my concentration and crashed my nerves just everytime i was tryina listen to you. Still wondering !!!!
