Inspiring the next generation of scientists from Johnson City, Texas
In Texas and our country, the complex challenges of tomorrow will require STEM professionals, entrepreneurs and problem solvers. Yet research shows low-income students, students of color, rural students and girls are underrepresented in STEM programs and in STEM careers as adults. This includes more than 60% of all Texas students who live in economically disadvantaged communities, with little or no access to STEM programs.
The Science Mill brings hands-on, science- and technology-focused programs to Texas communities with the greatest need, providing transformative experiences for students and local teachers.
