STEM CAREER EXPLORATIONS

Women and minorities are substantially underrepresented in a number of STEM fields in the United States. According to a study by the Bayer Corporation, women and minorities are missing from the STEM workforce today because they were not identified, motivated, or encouraged to pursue STEM careers as youth.

STEAM ONWARD's Career Explorations Sessions contribute to providing youth with positive attitudes toward engaging in STEM activities. The Career Sessions (Download the STEM Career Sessions file below) we provide a series of opportunities for middle and high school age youth to increase their awareness that STEM topics and careers are accessible to people of all genders, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

MORE THAN FARMING

MORE THAN FARMING (MTF) is a series of short educational videos, produced by STEAM ONWARD, that will illustrate examples of farms and natural resources sites in Maryland that utilize 21st century precision and digital technologies in agriculture, aquaculture, and natural resources. The major focus of the series is to reveal:

the diversity of careers related to agriculture, not just farming,
the diversity of technology utilized in agriculture and natural resources, and
the diversity of people engaged in agriculture and natural resources.

In addition, where possible, the series will feature African American, and other underrepresented and women owned farming enterprises, as well as professionals in agri-business, ag education, and ag related government agencies.
