Techbridge Launches New Role Models Matter Toolkit

Techbridge, an out-of-school program that aims to increase girls’ science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills and career interests, has released a new Toolkit for STEM role models.

The free Role Models Matter Toolkit, which was developed with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), will help role models develop skills to engage girls and underrepresented youth in STEM. It includes video examples of STEM role models in action, proven strategies for how to engage youth, new STEM activities, and engaging icebreakers. If you want to be a STEM role model or are looking to engage STEM role models to work with youth in your programs, please explore this toolkit. Selected research resources from the Toolkit have also been cataloged on InformalScience.org.
