As we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the #IAm

As we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the #IAm Project, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible impact you have helped us achieve!

This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to continue contributing to our mission & NEW strategy! We will be moving away from annual scholarships to a workshop series for women of color in STEM at Westwood High School, which will focus on college readiness, career building, networking, and more! New donations will fund educational materials for students, school venue fees, and food for lunch and after-school workshops.

Last week, out co-founders @trinaacolada and @rrosiehernandez kicked off the #IAm Project's 2023 scholarship cycle 🎉 by spending a day at their alma-mater, Westwood High School, where they:

🚀 Led a focus group for potential #IAm Project Scholarship applicants covering:
•Imposter syndrome
•Increasing confidence
•Studying tips
•Semester planning
•Research projects
•Scholarship application tips
•Asking for strong letters of recommendation
•Resume formatting

🚀 Visited physics classes and fielded questions like:
•How much in student loans did they take out?
•How much do they currently owe?
•What's the process to change majors?
•How and when did they learn to code?
•Do they have any tips on selecting a university?
•Any advice on standing out in scholarship applications?
•What is science writing for public outreach?

🚀 Brainstormed fundraising ideas with the Science Club and opportunities to increase students’ STEM exposure

🚀 Met with the principal to discuss ways to strengthen #IAm Project’s campus impact and ways to provide more STEM opportunities to students

Happy International Women’s Day! Today we are celebrating how far Women in STEM have come, but also recognizing how much further we have to go. According to the Pew Research Center, women are progressively closing the overall STEM workforce gap, but on closer look women are still underrepresented in engineering, computer, and physical science jobs.* The gap becomes even more severe when we focus on women of color who continue to be underrepresented across all STEM fields.
