STEM Goes Red- A Collaboration between USCSOMG and AHA (IPM/SL)

The American Heart Association is working to engage more women in STEM through STEM Goes Red. The program draws from the association’s strong legacy of science, education and discovery to help propel young women into rewarding STEM careers.

STEM Goes Red brings interesting careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to life for young women. By giving students access to leading employers and experts, they have the chance for an insider look at what they do. STEM Goes Red attendees gain firsthand experience, connect with inspiring professionals and learn about jobs across STEM fields. Students can walk away feeling like a whole new world of STEM has been revealed — a world in which they can truly love what they do and make a tremendous impact.

Work to plan our inaugural STEM Goes Red Event hosted at USCSOMG. This day long event will host approximately 100 middle school girls and will include interactive educational activities to inspire a love of science. This is a chance to collaborate with other women in STEM fields as well as women in our valued community based partner, the American Heart Association.
