Afterschool STEM Hub’s Post

At last week's convening, we asked our partners: How do we achieve collective impact and level up our ability to help youth use STEM for social good? Read more about the programs doing this work and using afterschool STEM to inspire, empower, and equip young people with the skills they need to change the world. See how Mikva Challenge, Technovation, Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC), and more are prioritizing youth voice and inspiring young people to take charge of their STEM experience—and how you can too! https://lnkd.in/e8hdeN8G

Our colleagues share their passion for STEM with youth across the country through our partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Nurturing a diverse STEM workforce is critical to generating the most innovative and inclusive solutions to global challenges. As volunteers, our colleagues encourage Club kids to dream big and imagine themselves as future innovators by participating in hands-on activities and sharing their STEM career stories. Together with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and our colleagues, we're working to ensure all youth have opportunities to pursue and succeed in STEM.

Anthony Miguel, A.B. '25, is dedicating to bridging STEM and Indigenous Community advocacy. Anthony's unique journey weaves through California and Santa Maria Tataltepec, Oaxaca, where he identified healthcare disparities and committed to using science and technology as tools for social change. With a double concentration in computer science and molecular & cellular biology, Anthony aspires to become a physician who can innovate health solutions for underserved communities. As co-president of Natives at Harvard College, a Harvard University Native American Program intern, and a fellow in the SEAS Office for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, Anthony actively champions Indigenous visibility and representation in higher education and STEM fields. “Indigenous Peoples have been producing knowledge since the beginning,” he said. “The methodology might be different from that in institutions, but our knowledge persists, inclusively worldwide.”
