“After years of engagement and awareness through established activities with middle and high school students, this Design and Innovation Studio provides our organization the opportunity to create career and early STEM awareness for younger students,” says Nicole Otte, director of workforce development, Endress+Hauser, in a press release from the company. “It further expands our early talent initiatives. We really look forward to partnering with local educators to integrate this studio into their curriculum.”
“IN-MaC is thrilled to be partnering with Endress+Hauser to build awareness and increase access and equity in STEM educational pathways,” says Sascha Harrell, director of education and workforce for IN-MaC. “This collaboration is designed for students and teachers to gain skills required to succeed in the innovation-focused 21st century, learn more about STEM careers, challenge their understanding of the industry and leverage their interests to inspire participation and prepare youth for future jobs.”
Concurrently with the opening of the Design and Innovation Studio, Endress+Hauser kicks off its Youth STEM LEAD program for high school students. This initiative allows high schoolers the opportunity to interact with and learn directly from Endress+Hauser subject matter experts. This program offers a free 90-minute session once a month for students to explore career opportunities within the STEM field. Each session will feature a new topic, some of which were specifically chosen ahead of time, while the remaining will be chosen by participants via an online survey to provide students the unique freedom to have control over their learning experience.
