I'm delighted to share my article highlighting the transformative impact of STEM NOLA and its expansion through STEM Global Action. Together, these organizations are revolutionizing STEM education, empowering communities, and shaping a brighter economic future. In the vibrant streets of New Orleans, where culture meets innovation, STEM NOLA, founded by Dr. Calvin Mackie, is leading the charge. Since 2013, this visionary organization has been at the forefront of STEM education, providing enriching programs to K-12 students and families. Now, with STEM Global Action, their mission extends nationwide, bringing state-of-the-art STEM experiences to communities everywhere. Why is this important? STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—forms the bedrock of modern progress and economic prosperity. By nurturing STEM skills from an early age, we equip our youth with the tools to innovate and excel in the 21st century job market. As Dr. Mackie passionately advocates, "Our kids must have skills to create and innovate from a young age... It has to start at four and five years old." Moreover, diversity in STEM is crucial. By breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity, STEM NOLA and SGA ensure that every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the future workforce. Join me in supporting this movement towards a more inclusive and innovative future. Let's expose, engage, and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders together! #STEMNOLA #STEMGlobalAction #STEMEducation #Innovation #DiversityInSTEM #Empowerment #FutureOfWork #CommunityImpact #YouBelongInSTEM #CradleToCareer STEM Learning Ecosystems Entergy
