Naima Penniman, program director of Soul Fire Farm, will give a talk about the importance and value of food production, racism in food distribution, access, etc. This is a collaborative event with HSI STEM, Multicultural Affairs, the School of STEM, and the Urban Studies program at STCC.
Massachusetts STEM Week 2020 is organized by the Executive Office of Education and the STEM Advisory Council in partnership with the state’s 9 Regional STEM Networks. The theme for the third annual statewide STEM Week is “See Yourself in STEM,” with a particular focus on the power of mentoring. Women, people of color, first-generation students, low-income individuals, English language learners, and people with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM industries and make up an increasing portion of the overall workforce, but the demographics of STEM fields have remained largely the same. We need more young people to see themselves in STEM.
