Exciting news! STEM is for Everyone is bringing its next major event to New York City in 2026!
While the official date and time are still to come, we are gearing up for an incredible experience that will inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.
Why This Event Matters
STEM education remains one of the most powerful tools for driving progress, yet accessibility to quality STEM learning opportunities is still a major challenge. Even in the United States, access to STEM education remains uneven, with significant gaps limiting opportunities for many students.
- Only 20% of high school graduates in the U.S. are prepared for college-level STEM coursework.
- Women make up just 28% of the STEM workforce.
- Black and Hispanic workers remain significantly underrepresented in STEM careers, making up only 16% of the workforce despite being nearly 30% of the U.S. population.
- Rural students are less likely to have access to advanced STEM coursework, limiting their future opportunities.
Our 2026 NYC event aims to bridge these gaps by bringing together industry leaders to collaborate and raise funds in support of an organization dedicated to expanding STEM education access. These efforts will help provide underserved communities with the resources, mentorship, and opportunities needed to inspire the next generation of innovators.
