Department Overview:
|
A 501c(3), Maydm provides girls and youth of color grades 6-12 with the skills, experiences, and connections to pursue careers in and change the face of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). We envision a world where all students know that a career in STEM is possible for them; a world where all students can pursue their dreams as entrepreneurs, developers, engineers, or professors in a STEM field.
Maydm, as an organization, was founded as a response to the overwhelming lack of technical training that meets the needs of low-income students, girls, and youth of color. Our programs offer opportunities for youth to develop knowledge and skills in science, technology, and engineering. Each summer, we offer a series of multi-week immersive programs where students gain in-depth technical knowledge as well as go on site visits to local companies and engage in critical conversations on confidence, equity, and innovation. These experiences create opportunities and experiences for students who may not have otherwise been able to participate in holistic STEM learning, for students to change the face of STEM. |
