To help foster the next generation of scientists, Subaru has partnered with AAAS on two inspiring book initiatives.

Through its Soar with Reading program, JetBlue has been tackling the issue of book availability in underserved communities since 2015. The program provides free children’s books through vending machines in a different city every summer.

The leaders of the Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington (GLOW), an all-girls public charter school in Wilmington, North Carolina, are hopeful that single-sex schools now will make a difference in STEM fields and society in the future.

The camp for girls in grades 7-9 from underserved communities was the first of its kind in the U.S., following WiSci STEAM camps this summer in Estonia and Kosovo — and previous camps in the countries of Rwanda, Peru, Malawi and Georgia.

The Home Depot and Discovery Education have joined forces to help STEAM-power classrooms and homes across the country as students prepare for the careers of tomorrow.

There’s no doubt critical young minds will help create the innovations of tomorrow. And with programs like WiSci, the Intel Foundation is committed to increasing access to technology for girls, particularly in underserved and diverse communities.

Advancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is a critical focus for Lockheed Martin. Our future success – and our nation’s technological advantage – depend on a constant supply of highly trained, highly capable technical talent. Our success also depends on our commitment to operating with integrity and to the highest ethical standards.

These days, more campers — and especially girls — are finding their summertime fun dismantling computer servers, building robots and coding with JavaScript.

Once again, we have partnered with South Carolina’s York School District 1 to familiarize educators with our company, our industry and career opportunities.

I help teach my students, especially girls, not to give up if their first attempt doesn’t go as planned. Computational thinking teaches them that mistakes are not failures—it means there is room for growth and improvement in their work.
