Current talkSTEM Fellows
- Virtual Volunteering – You can volunteer your time and resources virtually, too!
- Help share talkSTEM content on social media by following the talkSTEM social media platforms and sharing the free resources with your networks.
- Share your STEAM mindset- You can support local youth interested in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) by sharing your STEAM mindset. We hope to grow this collection of found STEM to share with youth so that they may begin to recognize the STEM that is around them, and recognize themselves as people capable of enjoying STEM.
- We welcome women in tech or STEM to contribute in this way. We are particularly interested in hearing from you, as it can help the most girls in their STEM journeys. talkSTEM’s mission is to develop future generations of female STEM leaders by inspiring today’s youth to adopt a STEM mindset.
