🚨 WE NEED 1,000 VOTES AND WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🚨
I’m excited to share that AdmissionSquad's panel, “America’s Hidden STEM Pipeline,” has been submitted for consideration for SXSW EDU!
The idea behind this conversation is simple but urgent: How many future scientists, engineers, mathematicians, technologists, and innovators are we failing to find?
In New York City, only 3 Black students were admitted to Stuyvesant High School out of 777 total offers. But our panel asks a bigger question: What if disparities like this begin years before a student ever applies?
We want to take this conversation to a national stage, exploring how schools, families, and communities can identify and develop high-potential students earlier, expand access to rigorous STEM opportunities, and build a stronger STEM talent pipeline without lowering academic standards.
But first, we need your vote! ❤️
Our goal is 1,000 votes, and every single one matters.
