Understanding STEM Stereotypes: A Look at the Newest Research and Strategies

Join NGCP and Dr. Allison Master for a deep dive into the latest evidence on how STEM stereotypes are evolving - and where the most critical work remains.

While progress has been made in fields like math and science, new research reveals that computer science and engineering stereotypes remain a significant barrier, forming as early as age six. In this webinar, they will explore how specific stereotypes impact interest and belonging differently across STEM disciplines. Participants will leave this webinar with practical strategies on how to empower all young learners to be the innovators of tomorrow.

Hack Club - Activity for Youth

This summer, Hack Club is partnering with NASA, AMD, and GitHub to launch the Stardance Challenge, the world's biggest STEM challenge for teens ages 13-18. Your students can choose what technical projects to build (apps, games, circuits, hardware) and get rewarded with free real-world prizes like 3D printers and Raspberry Pis. No prior software or hardware experience is needed; both beginners and experienced coders are welcome. Just show the two-minute intro video in your class to get students signed up, and you'll receive a free Artemis II mission patch.

Head to their website to learn more about the challenge!
