| | | | The roots and the STEM Hello hello, Baltimore. It's me again. Did you have a great week? Today, I'm thinking about some locally relevant STEM education initiatives. Read our Money Moves story below and you'll see that the Digital Harbor Foundation is administering a new fund, kickstarted with a $3 million donation from the CEO of Citadel, to support Ukrainian STEM students whose education has been impacted by the Russian invasion. In addition, the opening ceremony of the Maryland STEM Festival takes place at Anne Arundel Community College tonight. The ceremony precedes the actual month-long festival, which starts tomorrow and features a mix of student-focused and age-irrelevant events throughout the state. This year's festival highlights cybersecurity and IT.
We frequently report on STEM education initiatives and organizations across our markets that see science and tech education as a way of addressing some of our world's biggest problems — from military conflicts to the digital divide to workforce gaps. The transformative potential of STEM education is fairly obvious. What isn't as clear is how initiatives like the ones I mentioned might help people who don't work or aspire to work in STEM professions.
Do you have a great story about how STEM education impacted your non-technical path, or that of someone you know? Share your story by responding to this email or sending another to baltimore@technical.ly.
