Let me share a bit of my path to STEM: Growing up, while money was tight, I was grateful that my family had enough to always meet my needs. That being said, I never got to attend the premium summer camps my peers in richer areas got to. My mom was a stay-at-home mom and did her best. She prioritized my STEM education, but no matter her goals, she could never afford to send me to those premium camps. I was lucky enough to attend two summers of robotics camp for free through gracious donors, which I attribute to my current interest in robotics and AI, but those opportunities required rigorous applications and were highly selective. Access to STEM Education at a young age should not be selective - it should be universal. Right now there is a premium on quality STEM education - I aim to end that. This leads me to Camp STEMPowered LLC. My goal is twofold: 1. Offer low-cost camps to EVERYONE with no income checks. 2. Offer free camps to low-income students attending school districts with historically low STEM resources (this is where I lean on the generosity of donors). I plan to focus on summer camps, but will also incorporate virtual webinar learning sessions, and hackathons to instill confidence in each kid that a career in STEM is achievable regardless of where they come from. That being said, I can't do it alone. There are a few ways I could use help: 1. If this message resonates with you and you have the time, consider applying for a position on the board. 2. While I am still in the process of applying for nonprofit status, if you have any connections with experience in grant writing or corporate giving please send them my way! 3. Repost this to gain visibility. Just as generosity has been shown to me, I plan to continue the cycle and help the next generation. Together we can show ALL people have a place in the wonderful field of STEM!

This weekend, I had the opportunity to volunteer by assisting a visually impaired student during her exam. What started as a simple chance to revisit the exam environment turned into a meaningful and humbling experience. It gave me a deeper appreciation for the challenges faced by visually impaired students. I’ve shared the full details of my experience in my latest blog – https://wix.to/VWBagQx I’d love to hear about your own volunteering experiences and insights. Feel free to share them in the comments! #Volunteering #CommunityService #SocialImpact #MakeADifference #VolunteerExperience #PositiveChange #InspireOthers #newblogpost

That big project you're working on... Do you have a written defition of what success looks like? Take 3 minutes right now to create one if not. Some examples and non-examples to help you: Examples of Specific Project Goals: - “Our fall 2024 Teacher Convening will showcase the diversity of our network, with at least 75% of attendees identifying as people of color. At least 200 attendees will be present, and we secure at least $15K in event sponsorships. At least one media outlet covers the event in a way that generally aligns to our ideal messages.” - By September 30, we have identified at least 15 dedicated, on-message teachers who respond to the majority of our requests for reporter connections. They represent at least 9 priority school districts and 60% identify as Black or Latinx. Non-Examples: - “We will run a great process to hire a new Policy Director.” - “Students will be satisfied with the experience they get with their academic advisors.” - “We will hold a retreat for our Cohort 5 participants.”
