AFS Global STEM Accelerators Program 2023
Research shows that women globally occupy over half of the college educated workforce. But study areas in STEM only have 28% of women scholars. Oftentimes, women who are interested in pursuing STEM fields which are traditionally dominated by men, usually face challenges. Hence, the creation of the AFS Global STEM Accelerators Program for the future of women in STEM fields.
This program will make opportunities available for women and girls globally to explore their passion and interests in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Successfully Selected Candidates will join in 12-week programs (Virtual) with a focus on emerging and critical STEM skills and fields, global competence education, and social impact.
The program which is co-developed with the University of Pennsylvania will enable Scholars to enrich their STEM knowledge and skills through an interactive, hands-on curriculum, while developing critical global competencies, including problem-solving, analytical skills, and intercultural understanding.
