Known to 500K fans by @Mags4Science, Maggie Burruss is working to pioneer the idea that STEM is for everybody, no matter your education, identity, or background.
The IF/THEN Collection aims to inspire girls to become scientists and engineers because they are 'exciting, relevant, and cool.'
As part of the project's kickoff, IF/THEN will offer a $1 million matching fund for teachers and a $650,000 grant program for science and technology centers and museums.
The National Science Foundation grant will back the Scholarships, Teams and Research (TWU STAR) project aimed at increasing undergraduate engagement, retention, and graduation in STEM-related fields.
STEM in the Park was hosted by Millennials for STEM, a foundation by the Dallas Millennial Club. The event had different STEM zones like robotics or VR for parents and students from grades kindergarten to 12th to experience the different aspects of STEM in a fun, engaging way.
The walkSTEM community outreach program has added more locations, including the Dallas Arboretum, for students and educators to explore everyday connections to math- and science-related concepts.
DFW area programs and organizations are working to introduce girls to STEM at a younger age in order for them to develop a passion for math and sciences and later the confidence to lead in these male-dominated fields.
The 2018 awards program, The Hidden Figures of Dallas: Top STEM Influencers, will honor both minority women and men making a difference in STEM careers.
