2023

Women of color make up a growing, 16 percent of the U.S. population, yet they only make up four percent of U.S. scientists and engineers, according to the U.S. National Science Foundation. Through these kinds of community partnerships, Arizona has a tremendous opportunity to include more women and people of color in STEAM to reflect our diverse current and future workforce and drive economic growth. Equity in STEAM connects leaders from across our state to identify barriers and develop innovative solutions to close gender and racial gaps for a vibrant, more inclusive future.
