As educators celebrate Black History during Black History Month and beyond, check out the plethora of hands-on activities in this course that students can experience…

Showcasing real-life examples of people in STEM, careers, and applications of STEM to children is important for inspiring diversity in these fields. Various studies and research show that such real connections help break stereotypes, increase confidence and aspirations, and inspire curiosity and innovation.

• By seeing themselves reflected in successful scientists, engineers, and mathematicians, children from underrepresented groups can break down limiting stereotypes and envision themselves as future STEM leaders. Studies by the American Association of University Women show that when girls see female scientists, they are more likely to express interest in and pursue STEM careers.
• Exposure to diverse STEM role models fosters a sense of belonging and boosts confidence in pursuing STEM-related goals. Research by the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine highlights that students who identify with successful STEM professionals are more likely to set ambitious academic goals and persist in challenging courses.
• Engaging with stories and accomplishments of STEM achievers sparks curiosity and a love for exploration in children. This intrinsic motivation is crucial for fostering innovative thinking and problem-solving skills, key attributes for a successful STEM career. A study by the University of Cambridge found that early exposure to diverse scientists can positively impact children's science literacy and critical thinking skills.

STEM Icons: Celebrating Black History course is now available for educators around the world to offer in settings such as summer camps, after school enrichment, in school STEM classes, child care centers, weekend workshops, nonprofit enrichment programs, homeschooling, and more.
