Diversify The Future Foundation’s Post

How are you celebrating STEM day 2023? We’re looking forward to our next Hackathon Challenge with Ulster University Computer Science Department. We’re looking back at the projects that the Ulster students who have spent their year in industry with us have worked on. And we’re researching more commercial placement opportunities that will help us invest in the next generation of STEM students. Research shows that early exposure to STEM subjects lays the foundation for students to explore STEM careers. By supporting STEM education, we are encouraging bright minds to enter tech. What are you doing this STEM day? #Hackathonchallenge #STEM #STEMday2023

Did you know that in 2020, 20% of Science and Engineering doctoral degrees went to graduates with some community college experience? Or that 80% of community college students want to earn a baccalaureate degree but only 16% actually do, within 6 years (according to the CCRC)? What would our nation's STEM workforce look like if the transfer process was more seamless? On May 20th, come join the National Academies on Science, Engineering and Medicine Roundtable on Systemic Change in Undergraduate STEM Education as we discuss the barriers and opportunities facing STEM Undergraduate students. https://lnkd.in/ghKbzmWc

Pre-College STEM Programs (PCSPs) give students invaluable enrichment and research experiences that increase STEM exposure, engagement and self-efficacy. They are critical to increase participation in STEM. https://ow.ly/2QlR50SxqB0 #CollegeAccess #Equity #STEM

In a recent article by Sunaina Kumar, she emphasized a commonplace phenomenon regarding STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. "The underrepresentation of women in STEM in every region of the world, and a peculiar global trend about the participation of women is that even though graduation rates are higher among women than men, women are less likely to undertake studies in STEM fields, particularly engineering, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and physics." The compromised involvement and participation of women in undertaking STEM research is a telling story about negative conditioning surrounding the sciences for women. Furthermore, it could negatively impact the overall participation of minorities in STEM subjects. As a social science researcher, my experiences in STEM-based subjects are anecdotal and perhaps not as astute as those of a STEM researcher. However, as a woman, I am thoroughly convinced, and a bit indignant, that I was guided away from real opportunities in the sciences owing to the lack of a "scientific" rigor. Proper and meaningful guidance takes time and dedicated effort. To anyone interested in shaping the future participation of women and minorities in STEM research, please share this opportunity with your colleagues, friends, and family.

Have you ever wondered about the transformative power of STEM/STEAM education? STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and its creative cousin STEAM (adding Arts to the mix) have transcended mere subjects; they are gateways to innovation, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of the world around us. But beyond the equations and experiments, what impact do they truly have? Research paints a compelling picture. Studies consistently show that students engaged in STEM/STEAM education exhibit higher levels of critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability—skills that are paramount in today's rapidly changing landscape. They not only excel academically but also develop the resilience and agility needed to thrive in diverse careers and industries. Moreover, STEM/STEAM education fosters collaboration and interdisciplinary thinking. It breaks down silos and encourages students to approach challenges holistically, drawing from multiple disciplines to find innovative solutions. This collaborative mindset is invaluable, reflecting the interconnectedness of our global society. Beyond individual growth, STEM/STEAM education holds the key to addressing pressing global challenges. From climate change to healthcare, technology, and sustainable development, the knowledge and skills nurtured through STEM/STEAM initiatives are instrumental in driving positive change and shaping a better future for all. As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, STEM/STEAM education isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. It empowers individuals, fuels innovation, and paves the way for a more resilient and inclusive society. Curious to delve deeper into STEM opportunities and grants?
