We had such a fantastic day at the ImagiCharms Workshop on Tuesday! We are incredibly grateful to Morgan Stanley for providing over 40 Mamaroneck children with a free opportunity to visit their NYC office and code with the wearable ImagiCharms. It was a wonderful way to introduce kids to Python coding at an early age. #MSGivesBack, #STEM, #TechEducation

Curious and self-motivated student committed to the development of young women in STEM. Pursuing a major in Robotics and a minor in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
Thank you to the STEM Alliance for this honor! I’m so grateful for the STEM Alliance team for all the opportunities they have provided that supported my interest in Robotics and Engineering. Happy #InternationalWomeninEngineeringDay to all the women, Westchester and beyond, inspiring the next generation of female STEM leaders!
For International Women in Engineering Day, we are featuring Zoe Fisch, an incoming freshman at the University of Michigan, robotics enthusiast, and Programs Intern for The STEM Alliance! Zoe discovered her passion for engineering during The STEM Alliance’s Hour of Code at Chatsworth Elementary School, where coding sparked her love for problem-solving and creativity. She loved how she could use problem-solving skills and creativity in one medium and started doing more coding after school. As a woman in engineering, Zoe has been a pivotal coach for our robotics team for two years, ensuring everyone's voice is heard and valued. She also participated in a Women in Engineering club and was a leader in the STEM Teen Advisory Board at Mamaroneck High School, enjoying the supportive community to bounce ideas off of and relate to shared experiences as minorities in the field. Zoe’s advice to other women and girls interested in engineering is to find people with similar interests, create a network of trusted peers, and get involved in the community through The STEM Alliance and other clubs. We are so excited to see where Zoe’s career takes her and wish her the best at Michigan!

We are so grateful to Jessica Tompkins and Blue Collar Open Book. The STEM Alliance is committed to leveraging hands-on STEM learning in the early years to inspire the next generation of construction leaders - engineers, project managers, project accountants, carpenters, HVAC specialists, environmental engineers and on and on and on. We look forward to building out more experiences like this with you for women and other underrepresented groups. Diverse employees creates diverse thinking and will spur success in the industry. Thanks for all that you do!

Over 100 children learned to safely "operate" a mini excavator last Friday. You read that number right. Not everybody was even tall enough to reach the pedal for the hydraulic thumb, but that didn't stop them. We had the very best heavy equipment instructor Kevin Tompkins patiently guiding them along the way. (Round of applause for you! 👏 👏 ) There was a long line. Some parents told us they happily waited over 30 minutes. In the dark at 9:00PM we had to deliver the disappointing news that we had to close up the activity. The line was literally never ending. These kids were PUMPED. Once they climbed up into the machine, they were laser focused on completing their task. Just look at their faces- pure focus. Their task? To move a log from one piece of plywood to the other. Sounds like a simple activity right? That's because it is. Having a simple activity meant that all ages could participate without compromising safety. (For any negative Nancys, we had our hand ready on the safety lever at all times just in case.) It was such a sight to see and hear. To see kids pulling their parents over to get in line faster. To see parents proudly record a video of their child in an excavator. Some even Facetimed other family members to show them right then and there. To see a sense of accomplishment spread across their face into a smile. To hear the loud cheers and clapping coming from the kids waiting in line as they celebrated the "operator" moving that log. You would have thought their favorite football team just scored. To hear a parent say to you, "My son just said he wants to do this when he grows up, that is awesome!" It was incredible. 👷♂️ 👷♀️ PSA to those already in our industry-Getting involved in our communities and schools is how we will engage the next generation of our workforce. I will keep proving just that. Thank you so much to STEM Alliance for such an incredible event: STEM-TASTIC 2024. Our missions truly tie together. Captivating young minds and giving them direct ways to explore different pathways. This is no easy task, but boy is it a necessary one.

The STEM Alliance is thrilled to be collaborating with the Community Resource Center in distributing Chromebooks to our community members, a step towards closing the digital gap.
Thanks to the STEM Alliance, we could distribute Chromebooks for the second time! Chromebooks have been incredibly beneficial for our community members, providing essential tools for education, job searches, and access to online learning resources. Let's continue to support each other in this digital age! #digitalinclusion
