Inspiring diversity in STEM requires both educators and caregivers working together to create a nurturing and inclusive environment. Showcasing real-life examples of people in STEM, careers, and applications of STEM to children is important for inspiring diversity in these fields. Various studies and research show that such real connections help break stereotypes, increase confidence and aspirations, and inspire curiosity and innovation.
