The STEM Alliance is so proud of Tia Williams, who is interning at the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) in Washington, DC this summer! A resident of the Bronx and Riverdale Country School graduate, Tia was a counselor at The STEM Alliance’s Co-Op Summer Enrichment program last summer after learning about the program from her high school dean. As a recipient of the NSLA’s national 2023 Summer Learning Award last year, Co-Op was the perfect experience for Tia to apply for NSLA’s summer internship after her freshman year at Brown University. Through her NSLA internship, Tia is working in the office of NY Senator Chuck Schumer, pursuing her interests in educational reform, health care and criminal justice reform and experiencing first-hand how policy is created and shepherded through the legislative process. The NSLA provides weekly seminars for the five summer interns with different policy experts and Washington insiders, as well as housing and a weekly stipend. Tia’s work in Senator Schumer’s office offers access to House hearings and the functioning of a busy legislative office. From a summer creating learning opportunities and summer fun for underserved students to a summer observing and contributing to policy and legislation development in our nation’s capital, Tia is a future leader on the rise. The STEM Alliance is proud to be a part of her journey! #nationalinternday

We had a fantastic time at our Co-Op Open House this morning! A huge thank you to everyone who came, including Legislator Catherine Parker, Senator Shelley Mayer, and Legislator Judah Holstein. Attendees had the opportunity to explore the many exciting activities that Co-Op has to offer, including Chemistry Chaos, It’s Electric, Newton’s Playground, Engineering, and more! #summermatters

We are deeply moved by the tribute on CBS News to Elise Finch, a true advocate for young women of color in STEM. In her honor, Good 4 Girls is creating a scholarship to help young women pursue further education in the fields that meant so much to Elise. The STEM Alliance is thrilled to contribute to this work by offering 2 weeks of vital STEM programming at Good 4 Girls this summer. Watch the full tribute here: https://lnkd.in/eQ-XSWHP Tony Aiello

We had such a fantastic day at the ImagiCharms Workshop on Tuesday! We are incredibly grateful to Morgan Stanley for providing over 40 Mamaroneck children with a free opportunity to visit their NYC office and code with the wearable ImagiCharms. It was a wonderful way to introduce kids to Python coding at an early age. #MSGivesBack, #STEM, #TechEducation

Thank you to the STEM Alliance for this honor! I’m so grateful for the STEM Alliance team for all the opportunities they have provided that supported my interest in Robotics and Engineering. Happy #InternationalWomeninEngineeringDay to all the women, Westchester and beyond, inspiring the next generation of female STEM leaders!

For International Women in Engineering Day, we are featuring Zoe Fisch, an incoming freshman at the University of Michigan, robotics enthusiast, and Programs Intern for The STEM Alliance! Zoe discovered her passion for engineering during The STEM Alliance’s Hour of Code at Chatsworth Elementary School, where coding sparked her love for problem-solving and creativity. She loved how she could use problem-solving skills and creativity in one medium and started doing more coding after school. As a woman in engineering, Zoe has been a pivotal coach for our robotics team for two years, ensuring everyone's voice is heard and valued. She also participated in a Women in Engineering club and was a leader in the STEM Teen Advisory Board at Mamaroneck High School, enjoying the supportive community to bounce ideas off of and relate to shared experiences as minorities in the field. Zoe’s advice to other women and girls interested in engineering is to find people with similar interests, create a network of trusted peers, and get involved in the community through The STEM Alliance and other clubs. We are so excited to see where Zoe’s career takes her and wish her the best at Michigan!
