Why is STEAM for M.E?

Systemic barriers restricts underrepresented groups from aspiring to enter the STEAM workforce consequently hindering academic success. 

A study done in 2013 showed that despite support from parents and teachers, discrimination was a major barrier for ethnic minority students pursuing further STEAM education. 

Discrimination has been shown to negatively impact physical health, mental health, and academic interest. 

For minority students, discrimination has negative impacts on 

• grades, 

• value of education, 

• academic curiosity, 

• self-efficacy, 

• academic motivation and 

• achievement. 

Students who face discrimination are also more likely to doubt their abilities in math, science, and general academic skills. 

A more diverse group of peers is linked to more positive academic outcomes. 

By creating a more inclusive environment, providing education in implicit and explicit bias, and creating innovating ways to improve technology and infrastructure, the greater diversity can be achieved.
