Rhian Studio Women in STEM Scholarship Program

The specific problem within the Gender Equity in STEM Challenge that I am working to solve is the lack of women in STEM fields. Having worked in tech over the past decade in software engineering and other roles, I have first hand knowledge of this problem and understand the many pitfalls and struggles women in tech face.

In the United States, women make up only 26% of the STEM workforce. This gap is even wider in certain fields, specifically, engineering and computer science, where women make up only 14% and 26% of the workforce, respectively.

There are many factors that contribute to this gender gap, including:

• Stereotypes and biases: Women are often stereotyped as being less interested in STEM fields or less capable of succeeding in them. These stereotypes can discourage girls and women from pursuing STEM education and careers.
• Lack of role models: Girls and women are underrepresented in STEM fields, which can make it difficult for them to see themselves as successful STEM professionals. This can lead to a lack of confidence and motivation. 
• Unsupportive environments: STEM classrooms and workplaces can sometimes be unsupportive of women. This can be due to factors such as microaggressions, harassment, and discrimination.

My solution to this problem is to create a program that provides girls and women with the support and resources they need to succeed in STEM. The program will include:

• STEM education: The program will provide girls and women with high-quality STEM education opportunities via internships within women led organizations. This will include hands-on learning experiences, as well as opportunities to learn from STEM professionals.
• Mentorship: The program will provide girls and women with access to mentors who can provide guidance and support. Mentors will be STEM professionals who can share their experiences and offer advice.
• Networking: The program will provide girls and women with opportunities to network with other women in STEM. This will help them build relationships and find support.

This program will help to close the gender gap in STEM. My experiences working in STEM gives me greater perspective and knowledge regarding this issue. I believe providing girls and women with the support and resources they need, we can help them to reach their full potential in STEM fields and close the gap.

Here are some relevant local and national statistics:

• National: According to the National Center for Women & Information Technology, women make up only 26% of the STEM workforce.
• California: According to the California Department of Education, women make up only 24% of the STEM workforce in California.
• Los Angeles: According to the Los Angeles Unified School District, women make up only 22% of the STEM graduates in Los Angeles.

These statistics show that the gender gap in STEM is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. I believe that my program can help to close this gap and make STEM fields more inclusive for women.

My solution is a program that provides girls and women with the support and resources they need to succeed in STEM. This program includes scholarship funds for education and professional training.

What does it do?

The program includes:

• STEM education: The program provides girls and women access to high-quality STEM education. This includes hands-on learning experiences, opportunities to learn from STEM professionals, funds for college courses and online training, as well as bootcamps or professional training.
• Mentorship: The program provides girls and women with access to mentors who can provide guidance and support. Mentors will be STEM professionals who can share their experiences and offer advice during and after the program.
• Networking: The program provides girls and women with opportunities to network with other women in STEM. This will help them build relationships and find support.
• Continued Support: The program will provide continued support in an effort to aid with interview prep, job placement, and counseling.

How does it work?

The program is delivered through a variety of formats, including online meetups, in-person networking, and mentorship opportunities. Girls and women can access the program through a website or by contacting a local program coordinator.

What technology does it use?

The program uses a variety of technologies, including online learning platforms, video conferencing, collaborative software, and social media. These technologies are used to deliver the program content, connect participants with mentors, and build a community of support for girls and women in STEM.

My solution serves girls and women who are interested in a career in tech. The solution will impact their lives in a number of ways, including:

• Increased confidence: The program will provide girls and women with the support and resources they need to succeed in tech. This will help them to build confidence in their abilities and to pursue STEM education and careers.
• Increased opportunities: The program will provide girls and women with access to mentors, networking opportunities, financial aid, and other resources. This will help them to find jobs in STEM fields and to advance in their careers.
• Increased diversity: The program will help to increase the diversity of the technical workforce. This will benefit society as a whole by bringing new perspectives and ideas to STEM fields.

The target population whose lives I am working to directly and meaningfully improve are girls and women who are interested in tech roles. As an underrepresented demographic, we face challenges such as stereotypes, lack of role models, and unsupportive environments. My program will provide them with the support and resources they need to succeed in STEM on a personal and professional level.

My understanding comes from my own experiences working in tech. In many of my previous roles, I was the only woman and/or only Black person in the company. This was a very difficult experience that took a toll on my mental and physical health overtime. These negative experiences fueled my desire to form my own organization and develop this program to create a positive outcome. Furthermore, I am leveraging my vast network to better understand their needs by conducting surveys, interviews, and focus groups with girls and women in STEM fields. I am also engaging them as I develop the solution by asking for their feedback on the program content, activities, and resources. I am confident that the solution will address their needs by providing them with high-quality STEM education resources, financial assistance, access to mentors, and opportunities to network with other women in STEM.

Here are some specific examples of how the solution will impact the lives of girls and women in STEM:

• A young girl who is interested in engineering but is discouraged by stereotypes will be able to participate in a STEM mentorship program that pairs her with a female engineer.
• A college student who is struggling in her computer science classes will be able to connect with a graduate student who can help her with her coursework.
• A woman who is working as a software engineer will be able to attend a networking event where she can meet other women in STEM and learn about new opportunities.

I believe that these are just a few examples of how the solution can make a positive impact on the lives of girls and women in STEM. I am committed to working with them to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in STEM in an effort to retain and support them throughout their careers.

I am the Team Lead. I am Black woman who has worked in STEM for over 10 years. I’m self-taught and and have worn many hats in this industry. I understand what it means to work hard, start from nothing with little to no help, and how isolating that can be. I also understand the importance of women focused programs that are dedicated to supporting women in tech. In 2016, I completed a Software Engineering Fellowship for women. This program helped me get promoted to senior engineering and engineering leadership roles through support, mentoring, and access to educational resources. This proves that programs like ours can and will be successful in working to close the gap. Our program aims to offer similar resources with an added emphasis on providing support for dealing with micro-aggressions, isolation, and stress-management. It is my experience that the emotional aspect of working in STEM as a woman is often overlooked or forgotten.

I have faced many of the same challenges that girls and women in STEM face. Presently, as a the CEO and founder of my own company, I am passionate about helping others to succeed and have a vested interest in creating better experiences for all underrepresented groups. I work with many other women who have similar experiences and people of all genders and races who are like minded and passionate about this issue. 

My team and I are well-positioned to deliver this solution. We have a deep understanding of the challenges women face in STEM. We’ve built relationships women in STEM, and are committed to working with them to create a more inclusive and supportive environment. We are understanding the needs of those we are serving by conducting surveys, interviews, and focus groups with girls and women in STEM fields. We are also engaging them as we develop the solution by asking for their feedback on the program content, activities, and resources. We are confident that the solution will address their needs by providing them with high-quality STEM education, access to mentors, and opportunities to network with other women in STEM.

The design and implementation of our solution is meaningfully guided by the communities' input, ideas, and agendas. We are constantly soliciting feedback from girls and women in STEM, and we are making changes to the program based on their feedback. We are also working with community partners to ensure that the program is meeting the needs of the community.

Here are some specific examples of how we are engaging with the community:

• We are conducting surveys and interviews with girls and women in STEM fields to understand their needs.
• We are hosting focus groups with girls and women in STEM fields to get their feedback on the program content, activities, and resources.
• We are working with community partners to ensure that the program is meeting the needs of the community.

We believe that by working closely with the community, we can create a program that is truly meaningful and impactful. 

I have been working with a number of girls and women in STEM fields to get their feedback on the program content, activities, and resources. I am confident that the solution will be able to serve a large number of people when it is launched.

Here are some of the ways that I plan to reach a large number of people with my solution:

• I plan to partner with schools, universities, and community organizations to offer the program to their students and members.
• I plan to create a website and social media presence to reach a wider audience.
• I plan to offer the program to all scholarship awardees as well as other company interns.

I believe that by working with a variety of partners and by offering the program resources via social media groups, I will be able to reach a large number of people and make a positive impact on the lives of girls and women in STEM.

Here are some details about what makes my solution a prototype rather than a concept:

• It is a working model. Similar programs have been developed and tested with large success rates.
• It is scalable. The program is designed to be scalable, so that it can be used with a large number of people. The program can be delivered through a variety of formats, including online , in-person meetups, and mentorship opportunities and will be based on individual need.

The program can be funded through a combination of grants and donations. The online resources and network will continue to grow and be available regardless of funding.

Here are some of the things that I have built and tested so far:

• An online mentorship and networking. We’ve utilized online collaborative tools to connect with women in tech and provide resources, support and mentorship.
• An in-person meetups. We’ve participated in workshops and meetings that provide girls and women with the opportunity to learn about STEM mentorship and to connect with STEM professionals.
• A social media groups. The platform provides girls and women with a space to connect with each other, share resources, and get support.

I believe that the evidence that I have provided demonstrates that my solution is more than just an idea. It is a working model that has been developed and tested with a small group of girls and women in STEM. The program is scalable and sustainable, and it has the potential to reach a large number of people.

I am excited to continue developing the program and to make it actionable and available to more girls and women in STEM. I believe that the program has the potential to make a positive impact on the lives of girls and women in STEM and to help them to succeed in their careers.

I am applying to the Gender Equity in STEM Challenge because I believe that the program has the potential to help me to overcome a number of barriers that I face in developing and scaling my solution for success.
