  1. SHARING STEM Careers that Meet COVID-19 Response Needs

    We will amplify how STEM professionals are pivoting their skills to meet the needs of the COVID-19.

  2. DEMONSTRATING the flexibility of STEM Skills

    We will illustrate the dynamic nature of STEM and how they can adapt to evolving workplace needs.

  3. INSPIRING students through demonstrations of innovative thinking

    We will connect the dots between the application of problem-solving skills to innovating solutions to important real-world challenges.
