Over a decade ago, I began addressing the challenge of creating a more inclusive #STEM space. Reflecting on my own journey, I realised that positive early experiences led me to where I am. I wanted to create those same opportunities for other young people. If you know a young person (ages 5-25) looking to develop their #STEM skills over the summer, take a look at Stemettes’ free, fun, and food-filled events: https://lnkd.in/eyXRFj-S It's not about forcing everyone into STEM careers. It’s about ensuring everyone has basic tech literacy, to make informed decisions and participate in these 21st century conversations. #WomenInSTEM #STEMdiversity #STEMeducation

Dear LinkedIn Community, Imagine the possibilities if every talented student had the opportunity to fully pursue their passion in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) without financial barriers. At Ozcorp Scientific, we believe in the transformative power of nurturing young minds and fostering innovation from an early stage. Unfortunately, the journey from undergraduate studies to groundbreaking innovation is often hindered by financial constraints. Many promising students are forced to sacrifice rigorous training for jobs just to make ends meet. But it doesn't have to be this way. That's why we're proud to partner with RIVERA Initiatives Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering venturous education and research in academic training. When you donate to RIVERA Initiatives, you're investing in the future of STEM by providing talented students with the resources they need to succeed.

Nkanyezi Masango is a champion for diversity in the creative field. Yesterday he joined us to talk about the initiative he set up in South Africa, Blackboard Community. It’s a non-profit organisation created with the belief that the South African creative industry will be more impactful if it’s racially diverse.    Nkanyezi spoke to us about the limited representation when it comes to adland and that the issue starts in high school. Most township students don’t consider creativity as a career path simply because they don’t know it exists. Their ambition is to change this.    According to the Department of Statistics SA, there’s currently a 45.5% unemployment rate among young individuals (aged 15-34 years). So the work that Nkanyezi and the team at Blackboard Community is incredibly important. Since its inception in 2017, Blackboard has introduced over 70 students to the world of creativity.    Read more about what they do here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dKqwYi34   Thanks Nkanyezi for taking the time to talk to us!   #DEI #DiverseTeams #LearningAndDevelopment

Charities like the one I lead have spent years trying to show young people just how fascinating and rewarding STEM subjects can be. Our efforts over a decade and more have changed the prospects of many individual students—but we still have a long way to go to change things for everyone. I have a few ideas on how we can advocate for systemic change together, and they involve making some changes ourselves:  https://lnkd.in/ebaq6Egf
