Mission
SEM Links mission is to enhance the self-efficacy of K-12 students in pursuing Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics STEM careers. This is achieved by connecting them with positive adult role models from the STEM community raising awareness of STEM careers and fostering engagement in STEM research through digital learning and hands-on activities. The Community STEM and Experimental Design Program benefitted over 500 youth in Metro Atlanta with support from around 30 STEM community volunteers. The Experimental Design Program successfully completed its 5th STEM Journal Club cohort graduating 6 students who produced a podcast episode for our SEM Explained podcast. Additionally the program dispatched approximately 10 volunteers to judge STEM fairs at local schools and district events.
