The life of Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson is a beacon of inspiration, shining brightly for all young women who dare to dream big in STEM.⠀ Read our July “Thinker” Blog to uncover how this trailblazing physicist redefined what’s possible in STEM, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire and uplift.⠀ The first African-American woman to earn a Ph.D. from MIT, Dr. Jackson was part of a graduating class with very few women and even fewer African American students. She had to prove her commitment to excellence in the face of incredible challenges—a skill that would lead her to greatness. Her groundbreaking work at MIT in theoretical solid-state physics was just the beginning of her incredible career. Dr. Jackson went on to make waves at AT&T Bell Labs, laying the groundwork for major advancements in telecommunications. Later, she served as Chair of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and became known as a transformative leader in higher education and government. Dr. Jackson dedicated her life to greatness, leaving a powerful legacy as a driving force in STEM. Discover more about Dr. Jackson and other inspiring figures who are shaping the future of STEM on our blog today. https://bit.ly/4dQhMyX #WomenInSTEM #DrShirleyAnnJackson #STEMLeaders #DiversityInSTEM

75% of Gen Z youth are interested in learning about STEM but most lack exposure. Despite high interest in STEM learning, many Gen Z students lack exposure to foundational STEM concepts, according to the latest Gallup and Walton Family Foundation report. As a result of this critical barrier, only 29% of Gen Z students name STEM fields as their top career choices. We’re creating a new generation of STEAM professionals by closing the exposure gap with engaging, hands-on STEM programming aimed at youth in historically underrepresented communities.

To inspire students to pursue careers in STEAM, consider these five effective strategies: 1. Hands-on Learning: Utilize interactive and practical projects to bring STEAM subjects to life for students. 2. Role Models and Mentoring: Establish connections between students and professionals who can mentor and inspire them. 3. Real-world Applications: Illustrate how STEAM skills are essential in solving real-world problems. 4. Community Engagement: Involve students in local projects to show the relevance and importance of STEAM in their communities. 5. Creating a Supportive and Inclusive Environment: Ensure that all students feel welcomed and encouraged to explore STEAM fields. #STEAMEducation #STEAMCareers #FutureInnovators #HandsOnLearning #MentorshipMatters #RealWorldSkills #CommunityEngagement #InclusiveEducation #EmpowerStudents

Riddle of the Day: Many have heard me, but I have never been seen. I can not speak unless spoken to. What am I? A: An Echo! Do you know how echoes work? Sound is simply sound waves, caused by vibrating objects like guitar strings or vocal cords, moving into our ears. When these sound waves hit a hard surface, they reflect —creating echoes! For a really clear echo, you need lots of space between the sound and the surface. Follow us to unlock the secrets of sound, echoes, and more this summer. STEAM is for everyone! https://bit.ly/44I2Yzl #RiddleOfTheDay #Echo #SoundWaves #STEAMlearning #ScienceFun #SummerLearning #ExploreSTEAM #EducationalFun #STEMforall #WeSteamAhead
