The NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Science Editorial Team highlights how the "Engaging Hispanic Communities in Authentic NASA Science" project, led by Arizona State University, is advancing STEM education by collaborating with Latino communities across six locations. This initiative aims to create culturally relevant learning experiences by partnering with educational organizations, community groups, and experts in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. The project offers hands-on activities and events that resonate with local Hispanic communities, integrating science with local cultural elements. STEM NOLA and STEM Global Action (SGA) share a similar mission by working to expose, engage, and inspire students from diverse backgrounds through STEM-based activities. By focusing on underserved communities, we provide opportunities and essential skills training in science, technology, engineering, and math. Our organizations emphasize the importance of inclusivity and cultural relevance, ensuring that their programs address disparities and promote representation in STEM fields. Diversity in STEM is crucial for innovation and economic growth, as diverse teams often achieve better outcomes. By partnering with organizations like STEM NOLA and SGA, and investing in programs that empower underrepresented groups, we can build a more inclusive STEM ecosystem. Such initiatives not only transform lives and uplift communities but also drive economic progress and foster creativity. #STEM #DiversityInSTEM #NASA #STEMEducation #Innovation #Inclusion STEM Learning Ecosystems https://lnkd.in/gbyKbZdr

How do we provide advice to federal agencies? Over the years, the Board on Science has provided advice to NASA, NOAA, the Department of Education, and the National Science Foundation to improve their education-related work at all levels. It has responded to congressional requests to provide guidance on key issues in STEM education. This work can sometimes be invisible to people outside of federal government, but it can have profound effects on how agencies fund and support STEM education across the country. Check out some of this work. You might be surprised to find there are programs near you! #Education #Policy #STEM
