STEM Journeys: Supporting Youth in STEM Career Pathways presented by Karen A. Peterson, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of National Girls Collaborative

Exploration of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers and career pathways is a key strategy to encourage participation in STEM opportunities and identification with STEM, especially for youth who have been historically and systemically underrepresented in STEM.

This talk will focus on integrating STEM career information and resources into afterschool programming, including high-quality online resources that showcase diverse STEM professionals and STEM careers and guidance for connecting to STEM professionals locally.
