Ensuring STEM is open to everyone is essential to the future of science. Through awards for seven Pathway Summer Institutes for Educators, the DOE Office of Science is supporting nearly 85 educators who either teach at schools and community colleges with large populations of students historically underserved and/or underrepresented in STEM or are educators who are from groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM: https://lnkd.in/eum2gv-k

In this article from VP of Global Educational Strategy Jason McKenna, he advocates for an early start to STEM education. ?? He explains that by the age of 6, many children already perceive computer science, engineering, and physics as male domains and emphasizes that "early exposure to STEM is essential to combat these stereotypes and foster an inclusive, equitable future in STEM fields." This article also offers action items for district leaders in order to achieve early STEM education within schools. ??? Read the full article here: https://buff.ly/42qGSC8

Happy anniversary to the Fisk-Vanderbilt Bridge Program! This year, the program celebrated 20 years of improving representation in STEM fields. Studies have shown that underrepresented minority students are more likely to use a master’s degree as a pathway to obtain a Ph.D. To increase the number of underrepresented minority students engaged in Ph.D.-level STEM research, in 2004 Fisk University and Vanderbilt partnered to form the Bridge Program. At the time, they had no idea how impactful it would be. “I stumbled on this program, and I respected what it stood for,” said Hannah Nnabugwu, who is working toward her master’s in chemistry from Fisk. “I am in this program because I want to grow my resume and network, meet people who are similar to myself, and create a solid foundation—mentally and physically—and skills before entering into a doctorate program, especially with having access to the resources at Vanderbilt University.” Celebrate the Bridge Program’s anniversary, learn more about its history, and hear more student experiences ? https://lnkd.in/ewsNGuXn

What a year it’s been for Young Scientist Academy! 380 students taught weekly — That’s 380 young minds exploring the exciting world of science every single week! 15 schools served — From bustling classrooms in New Hanover County, NC, and Dublin County, NC, to international lessons in Moldova. Science truly knows no borders! 13 teachers mentored — Equipping educators with the tools to inspire curiosity and innovation in the classroom. 116% increase in EOG scores for students in our programs — Proof that hands-on lessons has a huge impact on student learning! 85% of our students wouldn’t otherwise have access to high-level STEM education — Together, we’re opening doors to opportunity and leveling the playing field. But this isn’t just about numbers. It’s about the stories of students who built confidence, teachers who found fresh ways to spark curiosity, and communities connected through science. All of this is thanks to YOU — our supporters, partners, and educators. Together, we’re building a brighter future, one experiment at a time.
