Inspiring girls of color to explore STEM, computer science, and space is how we create a brighter future. 🌟 Dr. Mae Jemison’s keynote at the DreamMakers gala was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when girls are encouraged to pursue their passions. 🚀👩🏽🚀 #GirlsInSTEM #WomenInTech #STEMEducation #RepresentationMatters
👩🏽🚀 We got a few more Black & Brown girls interested in STEM, CS, and Space today … the Silicon Valley Education Foundation (SVEF) had the annual Dream Maker’s gala + fundraiser this weekend and in addition to the good Dr. Mae Jemison (from the southside of Chicago) blessing us with an amazing keynote … we also had a lot of fun celebrating outstanding students, teachers, and community members who make such a difference in the field of K-12 education. 🚀 A huge shoutout to all of my friends and colleagues from Samsung Semiconductor , Amazon Web Services (AWS) , Google , San Francisco 49ers , Cisco , HP , Stanford University , and other places who worked (and donated) to make this event a success … we served over 9,000 kids this year in California and next year we will surely be in the 5 digit range as we continue to grow our momentum and impact. ❤️ That’s all I got … have a great rest of the weekend friends!!! #stem #computerscience #womenintech #space #education #community
