    SESSION RECORDING, HANDOUT
    Public school data reveals that Black girls, especially those from underserved communities, experience the brunt of the unequal distribution of and access to quality STEM learning experiences over their schooling. As informal science learning opportunities continue to rise, it is critical to experiment with solutions to engage more Black and Brown girls in STEM outside the school day to advance gender and racial equity in STEM. But, how do we do this in ways meaningful and sustainable? In this panel discussion, you will learn from Black women STEM leaders of nonprofits, as they share insights and strategies for humanizing Black girls in science and math. Panelists include:

Building on earlier projects, Changing the Conversation and Engineer Your Life, DiscoverE has surveyed today’s teens and parents with existing and new engineering messages to understand their motivations, interests, and influences. We’ll share critical insights and lead a discussion on how the engineering community can work together to effectively communicate and position the field to attract a new and more diverse generation of innovators. The official DiscoverE Messages Matter Report will be released in January 2023.
