Program accomplishments

  • THE INSTEM MENTORSHIP PROGRAM: IS AN AUXILIARY SUPPORT NETWORK OF AND FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES STUDYING STEM. STUDENTS ARE LEAVING STEM MAJORS AT AN ALARMINGLY FAST RATE. STUDENTS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES ARE EVEN LESS LIKELY TO GRADUATE WITH THEIR STEM DEGREES. EFFECTIVE MENTORSHIP HAS PROVEN SUCCESSFUL IN RETAINING STUDENTS IN STEM PROGRAMS, ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES. INSTEM OFFERS AN INVALUABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL STUDENTS TO CONNECT WITH THEIR PEERS AND FACULTY WHILE FEELING SUPPORTED IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT CAN BE SUBJECT TO A LACK OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. INSTEM OFFERS FOUR YEARS OF PROGRAMMING; EACH HAS A THEME BASED ON THE SCHOLARS' NEEDS FOR THE CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR. EACH COHORT INCLUDES 15 INSTEM SCHOLARS AND ONE COACH, A STEM PROFESSOR, OR AN ESTABLISHED GRADUATE STUDENT AT THE INSTITUTION. STEM EXPERTS VISIT COHORTS TO LEAD WORKSHOPS AND PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO THE GREATER STEM COMMUNITY.

  • "SCIENCE AND INNOVATION UNSCRIPTED- OR "UNSCRIPTED," WAS CREATED BY THE NSTMF TO SERVE THE FOUNDATIONS MISSION OF CHAMPIONING THE WORK AND LIVES OF AMERICAS GREATEST SCIENTISTS AND TECHNOLOGISTS AND CONNECTING THESE EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUALS TO THE NEXT GENERATION. THE PROGRAM MARKS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD BUILDING AN INCLUSIVE COALITION OF INSPIRED STEM STUDENTS. THE PROGRAM FEATURES NATIONAL MEDAL LAUREATES AND OTHER PROMINENT STEM EXPERTS IN INTIMATE, DISCUSSION-CENTRIC EVENTS. NOW IN ITS SEVENTH YEAR, THE PROGRAM HAS FEATURED NEARLY 40 EXPERTS, REACHED AN AUDIENCE OF MORE THAN 10,000 STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, AND CREATED RELATIONSHIPS WITH 20+ UNIVERSITIES AND INSTITUTIONS. THE HALLMARK OF THESE EVENTS IS THE INTIMATE ATMOSPHERE IN WHICH STEM EXPERTS SHARE STORIES ABOUT NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS WELL AS THE FAILURE AND FALSE STARTS THAT DEFINED THEIR JOURNEY TO SUCCESS. GEARED TOWARDS STUDENTS AND YOUNG STEM PROFESSIONALS, THESE EVENTS PULL BACK THE CURTAIN ON WORLD-CHANGING SCIENTIFIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THE AUDIENCE IS ENCOURAGED TO ASK QUESTIONS AND ENGAGE WITH THE SPEAKERS OUTSIDE THE STRUCTURE OF A TYPICAL STUDENT-TEACHER INTERACTION. BY ATTENDING ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS OR WATCHING ONLINE, STUDENTS GAIN ACCESS TO A SET OF INDIVIDUALS THEY WOULDNT OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO ENGAGE IN A SUBSTANTIVE DISCUSSION.

THE NSTMF HONORS THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY HOSTING THE NATIONAL MEDALS CELEBRATION, A THREE-DAY CELEBRATION OF INGENUITY AND EXCELLENCE IN STEM. THE CELEBRATION HONORS THE NEW CLASS OF LAUREATES, THE BROADER LAUREATE COMMUNITY, AND LEADERS IN THE STEM COMMUNITY DOING EXCELLENT WORK IN THE LAB AND IN SUPPORT OF THEIR COMMUNITY.
