In this interactive session, participants will explore a research-based framework for building STEM identity through four key pillars: belonging, capability, connection, and creativity. You’ll learn how to guide youth to see themselves as STEM thinkers and doers. Through role models, storytelling, and hands-on strategies, you’ll leave feeling empowered with practical tools to create inclusive programs where students don’t just participate in STEM, they discover it as part of who they are.
