Grant Overview
Michigan faces a significant shortage of STEM professionals, with 44% of the state's high schools lacking computer science courses. Young women are underrepresented in STEM fields, making up only 22% of AP Computer Science participants nationwide. In Michigan, this initiative aims to inspire young women to pursue STEM careers through hands-on workshops and mentorship opportunities. The program focuses on building essential skills and confidence, with measurable outcome goals including increased enrollment in STEM-related courses. Michigan's rural areas, such as the Upper Peninsula, face unique challenges in accessing quality STEM education due to limited resources and infrastructure. The state's automotive industry, a major economic driver, is shifting towards more technologically advanced manufacturing, creating a growing demand for STEM-skilled workers. However, Michigan's education system faces budget constraints, making it difficult to invest in STEM education. This program addresses the cost constraints faced by Michigan's education system, providing critical support for STEM education initiatives. By investing in young women's STEM education, Michigan can build a more diverse and skilled workforce, driving economic growth and competitiveness. ## Addressing Michigan's STEM Education Costs ## Michigan's Rural STEM Education Challenges ## Building a Diverse STEM Workforce in Michigan
