Techbridge Girls Equity Cohort
Each participant will receive a $1500 stipend to participate. Apply here by December 1st. 

Research tells us that responsive learning environments can make all the difference in girls’ sustained interest in STEM. To that end, we created the STEM Equity Learning Community intensive training to equip OST program managers and site directors so that more equitable learning spaces are available for girls, especially Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls, across the U.S. 

Through the STEM Equity Learning Community participants will: 
– Explore how to use asset-based frameworks and practices to create inclusive OST STEM spaces for all youth.
– Experience culturally relevant and gender-responsive strategies that increase STEM belonging and persistence for all youth.
– Develop STEM equity action steps for their OST program.

The 2-hour, virtual STEM Equity Learning Community sessions are scheduled from January to May on the second Wednesday of each month at 10am Pacific | 1pm Eastern.
