Equity in Early STEM Education

Creating a more diverse workplace is a top priority for today’s employers. The first step in building a more diverse workforce is to hire more talent from underrepresented groups – for many companies this requires proactively changing some of the ways they find and attract talent - including starting with K-12 education. Ensuring equity in education for all students in schools, classrooms, and communities is critical for ensuring all students have an opportunity to succeed in STEM. In this session, panelists will discuss current challenges with equity in early STEM education, and how companies and individuals can make a difference for future talent.
