On the Day of #WomenInScience, we celebrate organizations in our community that are opening doors for girls in STEM education. Learn about how @ProjExplore is doing this work in Chicago:

.@ProjExplore studied the #STEM landscape in Chicago and subsequently developed a strategy to coordinate efforts across sectors and organizations. Part of this work is exciting student engagement that inspires engineering problem solving and music making with Python coding.

Thank you @ProjExplore for hosting @WHOSTP today and Chicago First Lady, Amy Eshleman, for joining. Your vision of an ecosystem of inclusive #STEM pathways ranging from pre-K to young adult, and including schools, museums, parks, libraries, academia & philanthropy is exemplary.
The White House Visit with Dr. Alondra Nelson @AlondraNelson46 from the Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP) was just a nano version of what partnership and ecosystem work truly looks like.

I’m kicking off day two in the Windy City and I’m excited to take you along. I’m starting the morning off with @alliancecchs followed by a visit to @ProjExplore and ending the day at @argonne where my colleague Sally Benson will join me.

In May, we are celebrating our STEM Guiding Team (STEM GT), which helps to direct our initiatives related to STEM afterschool! WARM WELCOME TO OUR NEW CHAIR Sarah Tinsman! Sarah has been an incredible leader in the field+fights for expanded access to programs in IL @ProjExplore

I think some of these conversations are taking place in private spaces like Slack, but feel they also need to be in spaces where others can gain ideas & be influenced by the discussion. I don't see this happening on FB or LinkedIn, to the same extent as Twitter enables.

You have no idea what an honor it is to reach back and see those brilliant minds and eyes of wonder. @ProjExplore is lucky to have you @ProjexED #ScienceofAssociateBoards #ScienceofJuniorBoard
Nice! Love it! We definitely love the fact that you're back, and in leadership, at that, and you are a walking testimony of what you can become...and more importantly WHO you can become. #scienceofassociateboards #scienceofjuniorboards

That is a sincere reminder for me, @iamtacollinsiii , I forget how much access and control in my own life I currently have now to contribute and grow with people around me.

We often don’t realize the hour we take to give back, yields such powerful returns that may not be seen at the moment, but the ripple effect is real! – at Chicago, IL

Congratulations on your continued good work. I'm pleased to see you hosting a conversation with alumni and your Junior Board on Twitter. I'd like to find more #Chicago youth serving organizations engaging in this space. Most have the potential to create youth boards.

2/ Contributing our talents is paramount also. Lending our expertise and experience amplifies the work underway and also ensures @ProjExplore can continue to be as impactful as it has been. Whether it's strategy or design, all hands are needed #ScienceofAssociateBoards

1/ Great question! Time is such a limited resource. The essence of time is truly being present. Our active participation is crucial to this work, especially for me, as a person of color. Representation is such a key element. #ScienceofAssociateBoards #ScienceofJuniorBoards

@iamtacollinsiii , we talk about Time, Talent, and Treasure as key areas of support from the associate board to the organization. How do you see these benefiting the @ProjExplore

As the Junior Board serving the vision and mission of @ProjExplore, we utilize our professional and personal experience, power, and access to create new tools, resources, and experiences for youth of color. #ScienceofAssociateBoards #ScienceofJuniorBoard

The development of the Junior Board for @ProjExplore was organic. We did not set out to start one but rather we started to see an interest from young professionals. Junior boards can fuel enthusiasm and creativity for organizations! – at Chicago, IL

ABSOLUTELY! I still myself as that teenager with so much potential. I tend to forget I'm an adult with experience, power, and access. To sit at an essential table and contribute to the decision-making is MIND-BLOWING. #ScienceofAssociateBoards #ScienceofJuniorBoard

Great question - I have always loved Science and the simple-yet-powerful experiments I saw as a kid ignited that spark! I want to help spread that joy to those who might otherwise not see the power of science! #ScienceofJuniorBoards
