The STEM PUSH (Pathways for Underrepresented Students to Higher-Education) Network - NSF INCLUDES Alliance
About us
The STEM PUSH Network is a national alliance of precollege STEM programs, STEM and culturally responsive pedagogy experts, formal and informal education practitioners, college admissions professionals, the accreditation sector, and other higher education representatives who are (re)imagining equitable pathways to HigherEd. This NSF INCLUDES Alliance is funded by NSF Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES), a comprehensive national initiative to enhance U.S. leadership in discoveries and innovations by focusing on diversity, inclusion and broadening participation in STEM at scale. It is also co-funded by the NSF Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program and the Advancing Informal STEM Learning Program (AISL).

Pre-college STEM programs are transformational for hundreds of thousands of students across the nation and for the last 55 years the Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program has been a large part of that impact. In 1970, in Oakland, California, Mónica Tejeda, discovered her love of STEM by participating in MESA at Hawthorne Middle School. In MESA, Tejeda gained foundational teamwork and problem-solving skills that eventually supported her journey through graduate school. This is the power of pre-college STEM programs. Read More about Monica: https://lnkd.in/g2jtaPS2
People are the heart of any organization, and MESA’s impact is best told through the stories of our alumni. As we prepare to celebrate 55 years of empowering students, we’re sharing one success story from each MESA state every month. These stories highlight what it truly means to be part of the MESA family. We begin our series in the state where it all started—Oakland, California, in 1970. ✨ Meet Mónica Tejeda, an incredible example of resilience, passion, and commitment to empowering underrepresented voices in STEM. She was born to immigrant parents from Jalisco, Mexico. In middle school, Mónica’s father was deported to Mexico without due process, a challenging experience that deeply impacted her adolescence and her academics. Mónica encountered MESA at Hawthorne Middle School where she first discovered her love for STEM. Her early involvement in MESA provided her with a foundation in teamwork, troubleshooting, and resilience over the course of numerous regional and state competitions. These foundational skills would pave the way for her eventual journey through graduate school. To learn the rest of Monica's inspiring story, visit our impact page: https://lnkd.in/g2jtaPS2

This is what STEM in pre-college STEM programs looks like. Real, hands-on experiences. Exploration of our world. Development of STEM skills. These are the students and the skills that should be highly valued in the admissions process.
