Minorities in STEM
An Initiative to Bridge the Gap in STEM
Minorities in STEM was founded in 2024 at Woodward Academy to bridge the gap between minorities and STEM. Acknowledging many initiatives to become more diverse and inclusive in the fields of robotics and technology, it became its primary focus and vision for STEM to become more inclusive to everyone in our community of STEM. To go from many initiatives separately to a whole network of people all over the world is the next step for us to come together and encourage future generations by giving opportunities that would otherwise have been limited to students.
We support many initiatives such as facilitating conversation within our community while also bringing in guest speakers and getting input from people in countless fields from all backgrounds to ensure an awesome experience for every one part of this organization. We are incredibly excited to start this organization and create a dent in the ethnic disparities related to STEM fields. Even though this issue is widely recognized, few programs are established when the time comes for students to choose what field they want to pursue. We hope to inspire and encourage people in the minority to gain various opportunities as students. Our goal is not only to raise awareness of the immense potential these students possess but also to help them see and believe in their own capabilities.
