This month, NeoSTEM gathered for a dynamic session covering critical workforce development strategies. Attendees brainstormed ideas to foster entrepreneurial mindsets among youth by potentially coordinating with one another and encouraging the use of maker spaces for real-world product prototyping. We discussed crucial data illuminating urgent gaps in regional tech talent pipelines and literacy proficiencies, spurring plans for an immersive data walk exhibit. Partners left invigorated by human-centered solutions prioritizing previously overlooked student potential and interests. Join us for our next meeting.
