📈The Future of Work is Changing—Are We Ready? According to the Future of Jobs Report 2025 by the World Economic Forum, 78 million new job opportunities are expected by 2030. However, an urgent skills gap threatens to leave many unprepared for these evolving roles. 🚀 🌟At STEM Generation, we are working to close this gap by equipping students with the critical STEM and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in the workforce of tomorrow. Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and real-world STEM experiences, we ensure students are not only prepared but empowered to thrive in high-demand careers. 🔗 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gJVHk_x7 Let's invest in the future workforce today! #Future #Upskilling #FutureofJobs #Skills

📚 Research Spotlight: Inclusive STEM Engagement 🔍A study published in The Journal of STEM Outreach (Feb 2023) by Ruth J. Kaggwa and colleagues titled STEM Outreach to Underresourced Schools: A Model for Inclusive Student Engagement, introduces a powerful model for increasing STEM interest among students in underresourced schools. Through hands-on activities and direct interaction with STEM professionals, the program boosts student engagement and expands access to real-world STEM experiences. 🌟At STEM Generation, we’re proud to champion similar approaches breaking down barriers and sparking curiosity through experiential learning. This research reinforces the importance of equitable STEM education and the role of meaningful outreach in shaping future innovators. 🤝We are looking for corporate donors ready to champion alongside us. 🔹 Empower your employees as STEM role models and mentors 🔹 Host field trips to ignite curiosity and spark a passion for STEM in tomorrow’s innovators 🔹 Support job shadowing to inspire and prepare the future workforce 🔹 Fund hands-on learning through Curriculum Kits and Science & Engineering Fairs Are you ready to help create the innovators of tomorrow? Connect with Leslie Ciocci Marshall M.Ed/M.S. to explore partnership opportunities and learn how you can get involved. #CorporateImpact #STEMEducation #FutureWorkforce #CSR #ESG #ERG #Engagement

🤖Happy National Robotics Week! 🤖 Robotics is more than just building machines, it’s about problem-solving, innovation, and shaping the future. From healthcare and space exploration to manufacturing and environmental conservation, robotics is transforming industries and daily life. This week, we celebrate the power of robotics in education and beyond, highlighting how hands-on learning in coding, engineering, and AI equips students with critical skills for tomorrow’s workforce. 🔍 Some robotics food for thought: 💡The First Robot: The word "robot" comes from the Czech word robota, meaning "forced labor." It was first used in Karel Čapek’s 1920 play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots). 💭Oldest Industrial Robot: The first industrial robot, Unimate, was introduced in 1961 and used by General Motors for automobile manufacturing. 💻AI & Robotics: Many modern robots use artificial intelligence (AI) to learn from their environment, improve efficiency, and adapt to new tasks. 🙌Bionic Limbs: Robotic prosthetics controlled by neural signals are helping people regain mobility and independence.

🌟 Inspiring Women in Tech: Pioneering the Future 💻✨ STEM Generation Celebrates Women in Tech Day! Women in tech are innovators, problem-solvers, and changemakers, shaping industries and driving progress. From coding breakthroughs to AI advancements, their contributions are transforming the way we live, work, and connect. 🚀 Trailblazers Who Inspire Us: 💡 Ada Lovelace – The first computer programmer, proving that women have been tech pioneers from the start. 💡 Grace Hopper – A programming visionary who helped develop early computer languages. 💡 Katherine Johnson – A NASA mathematician whose calculations helped send astronauts to space. 💡 Fei-Fei Li – A leader in AI research, shaping the future of machine learning and ethics in technology. Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in tech fields, but their impact is undeniable. By championing mentorship, education, and workplace inclusivity, we can empower more women to pursue careers in technology. #NationalWomeninTechDay #WomeninTech #Tech #AI #Innovation

🔢 April is National Mathematics Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the power of math in shaping innovation, problem-solving, and future careers in STEM! 📏From budgeting, problem-solving, and baking to engineering, computer science, and biotechnology, math is essential in everyday life and the foundation of STEM success. Yet, too many students—especially those from underrepresented communities—face barriers to accessing quality math education and hands-on learning opportunities. 📉 At STEM Generation, we’re committed to breaking down these barriers by providing fully funded STEM programs that equip students with the critical math skills they need to thrive in the workforce of tomorrow. #Mathematics #Math #NationalMathematicsMonth #STEM #Numbers
