StimulateWe want to ignite an interest in STEM for everyone, and we will accomplish this by hosting and providing events and activities that will educate our community about the plethora of opportunities available in STEM.
TeachWe will host career talks and webinars where you will hear and learn about different careers from some of the great professionals in our own community who work with STEM. Our events will also be focused toward teaching STEM concepts.
EncourageWe realize that young students may not be interested, particularly because STEM is perceived to be difficult and boring. However, we want to encourage others to get involved in STEM by organizing interactive events that will make science easier to understand and most of all, exciting. We also want to play a significant role in connecting students' interests with STEM careers by hosting webinars and providing them with further resources to explore their interests.
MotivateOur guest speakers will motivate others to pursue their career and education path. Student may be impacted or motivated to pursue the career of a guest speaker just by attending a career webinar.
