This study found that 46% of girls surveyed did not pursue STEM-related jobs later in life is because they did not have the mentorship as a young student. #mentorshipmatters Project Scientist Scholars - a virtual STEM Mentoring and Leadership development program is addressing this exact need! Girls ages 13-15 are invited to apply to the Scholars Program for an opportunity to be mentored by accomplished professionals from leading STEM companies and organizations. Scholars will be paired with mentors who will help develop and guide them through virtual interactions, resources, and college-preparedness projects. Apply at https://projectscientist.org/scholars. The application deadline is June 13, 2021.

It's time we share all the Hidden Stories. Feel free to add your stories in the comments section.

#Mentorship has been well-established in the literature as fostering scientific identity and career pathways for underrepresented minority students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. #ProjectScientistScholars is a new Virtual STEM Mentoring and Leadership development program designed to engage and empower girls ages 13-15 who have an interest in a STEM-focused education and career. In its pilot year, the Project Scientist Scholars Program is funded on a donation basis, thanks to partners like Trane Technologies. Applicants are encouraged to apply before the June 13, 2021 deadline. Visit the Scholars page to get started! https://projectscientist.org/scholars

Did you know that Sealed Air Corporation invented bubble wrap?? We did! Our national partner, SealedAir, is sponsoring the third week of the Virtual Summer STEM Lab: Innovations in Food Production & Delivery. If you want to explore more innovations in the food industry and learn about Sealed Air's work, have your daughter sign up for week 3 to hear directly from the women of Sealed Air. We invite all employees and friends of SealedAir to use the promo code: PARTNER20 for $20 off your camper's registration. We look forward to seeing your students in camp this summer! https://projectscientist.org/summer-virtual-stem-lab

Virtual STEM teachers lead groups of 15-20 elementary aged girls through STEM activities on Zoom every Wednesday from 3:30-5:30pm. Teachers bring STEM to life for girls using methods that engage and excite them. STEM Teachers provide leadership, mentorship and instructional coaching for students from varying grade levels. Although curriculum is provided, STEM Teachers are expected to bring the curriculum to life by adding their own unique backgrounds and resources to inspire ...their students to take risks, see their failure as key for innovation, develop growth mindset and grit, and encourage exploration and discovery through the sciences. Locations and time commitment: - REMOTE POSITION - January 2021 - May 2021 - Wednesday afternoons/evenings from 3:30-5:30 pm (depending on timezone) - There are three cohorts, East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast - There is an option to work at multiple cohorts. Please note if you would be interested in this option. Qualifications: - Credentialed teacher or college graduate/student in the education field - Experience working with K-8th grade children; STEM education experience is a plus. - Demonstrated leadership experience; demonstrating integrity, sound judgment, self-confidence, maturity and a sense of perspective. Financial Reward: - Shared upon request To apply for the STEM Teacher role, please email your resume to [email protected]. Applications will be reviewed and qualified candidates will move forward with a phone or virtual interview.

Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for Good Vibrations, the third and final month of fall STEM Club!
