🚀 The Flight Crew aims to uplift young voices in STEM from across the nation
The STEM Next Opportunity Fund has just launched the application process for its fourth Flight Crew cohort. The Flight Crew aims to uplift young voices in STEM from across the nation to inspire their peers and demonstrate that STEM is for everyone and takes place everywhere.
This is an opportunity to help identify a representative for afterschool and summer STEM programs in YOUR state!
This year’s Flight Crew welcomes ALL youth ages 13-18.
Let’s engage remarkable youth from YOUR STATE who can discuss:
Their first-hand and meaningful STEM experiences occurring outside the classroom
The challenges they have faced and overcome, their desire to address community issues, and how they inspire their peers’ interest in STEM.
Their experiences in building STEM skills through teamwork and problem-solving.
Their ability to connect STEM experiences to real-life situations and STEM careers.
Selected Flight Crew members will exemplify a STEM mindset, be committed to enhancing afterschool STEM learning to create a brighter future for youth everywhere, and serve as youth ambassadors for OST STEM and STEM career pathways in your area.
