I Am A Scientist Project

We create multimedia story-driven resources to make STEM more inspiring and inclusive for students and the public. Powered by @theplenary.

We asked kids to name as many scientists as they could. Their answers show just how limited our view of STEM leaders can be.

The #IAmAScientist project is working to change that.

Check out this new video from @SciShow featuring the ever-inspiring Dr. @PardisSabeti!

Pair it with her #IAmAScientist story (https://t.co/fgEOcZDIhn) to show your students who she is, her path to STEM, and why this type of work is so important. 🐦‍⬛🦠

One of my proudest moments was being featured in "I Am a Scientist". The program transformed my stories and research into educational resources that have reached over 5,000 schools in the US and globally.

.@melmorrisonphd was recently profiled by @IAmASTEM for her K-12 initiative to break STEM stereotypes! This project, a partner of the STEMM Equity & Excellence 2050 initiative with SOA & @WHOSTP, is helping inspire the next generation of scientists. https://t.co/uEpPMjrH9V

It was such an inspiration to craft Dr. Geoffrey Siwo's I Am a Scientist spotlight! Check it out!

Huge thanks to @IAmASTEM for breaking stereotypes in STEM and igniting a passion for science in the next generation! This project was a blast, and I hope it inspires students to forge their own unique paths – it’s ok to not fit in. @SOAlliance

[The Plenary, Co. @theplenary]

So proud to support incredible artists like @Mk_inspiring! Her beautiful work translating scientists' work days through illustrations helps bring our @IAmASTEM stories to life 🌟

What do spicy Thai food, surfing, and 3D printed artificial coral have in common?

They're some of our newest Spotlight's favorite things!

Revamped three science bulletin boards today.

Thanks again to @IAmASTEM and @DavidSuzukiFDN for the awesome FREE resources.

🏛 Yesterday, we were thrilled to attend the @SOA_2050 x @WHOSTP 2024 White House Summit on Equity and Excellence and witness the unveiling of the new National Strategy to achieve equity in #STEMM. We are committed to building a STEMM ecosystem rooted in equity and inclusion.

[STEMM Opportunity Alliance @SOA_2050]

An exciting day – we’ve release the National Strategy for STEMM Equity and Excellence and have announced Stephanie Rodriguez as SOA’s first director! Thanks to @alisonmsnyder @Axios for highlighting this work: https://t.co/R2Ij7h50Au

[Miss Frizzle @TheNewFrizzle]

This year I invested in new posters for my classroom that represent what REAL STEM professionals look like. It gives me so much joy to watch the students notice and finally see themselves and their peers in these posters ☺️

[Dr. Angela White @AngelaW9777]

"Not every student wants or needs to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM). However - should they choose to - demographics, interests, personality, and socioeconomic status should never get in their way!"

[Dr. Nabiha Saklayen @nabihasaklayen]

Pretty epic. Truck displaying Life Sciences in Full Color outside #BIO2023!!! ⁦@IgniteLC⁩ ⁦@IAmASTEM⁩ ⁦@LabCentral⁩ ⁦@JFruehauf⁩. My biotech world colliding into inspiring the next gen of biotech leaders!!! A gratitude-filled end to Day 1 at BIO 🥲

[Kate Kleespies @KKleespies]

I just discovered @IAmASTEM and I will be sharing these stories with my students! Powerful messaging. Representation matters

[Dr. Nabiha Saklayen @nabihasaklayen]

Congrats to the @IgniteLC @IAmASTEM @JFruehauf @LabCentral on the nomination! So well-deserved. I was honored to be a part of the Boston-wide campaign to break down barriers and build the biotech workforce 🙏🏼
