Description
Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professions are increasingly valuable to the global economy, yet many students drop out of STEM programs at key points in their studies. The Global STEM Alliance, an initiative of the New York Academy of Science (NYAS), aims to encourage young people and underrepresented students from around the globe to pursue opportunities in the STEM fields through its Junior Academy. With Corporation support, the Junior Academy will bring together hundreds of youth to work in small teams, mentored by a STEM professional, to develop solutions to innovation challenges over a 10-week period. This work is conducted through an online community and culminates in a summit at which challenge finalists present their findings.
