On Saturday, September 22, SHPE hosted its inaugural Dia de Ciencias challenge to build the pipeline of Hispanic students in STEM through increased access and awareness. The day was designed by leadership across SHPE chapters in Los Angeles and Denver to provide today’s students with the models, mentors, ambassadors, and bilingual speakers they lacked when they were younger. Students engaged in fun hands-on activities rooted in STEM concepts and the Mars Rover. Simultaneously, parents attended a bilingual workshop, “Preparing for College” where they heard from a panel of students and learned about the benefits, resources, and support available through our SHPE Familia. Parents and their children came together at the end of the day to hear from bilingual panelists who shared their personal journey studying STEM and how they built successful careers.
