Stem-It-Yourself

Program overview

The STEM workforce has a disparity in gender and of historically disenfranchised groups. In partnership with the Pitt County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (PCACDST), we hope to serve as change agents for the Delta Academy program (PCACDST) by investigating the perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of adolescent girls and by instilling confidence for the curation and developed of a STEM identity (i.e., SIY, STEM-It-Yourself). The program will introduce the young ladies to STEM by participating in STEM activities each month held by STEM Scientists who look like them. The Delta Academy program seeks to spur young girls to new heights through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
