WASHINGTON – STEM Global Action (SGA) was represented at the White House Space STEM Forum by CEO and founder Dr. Calvin Mackie, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Lawrence Jackson and a brilliant student – Raleigh Brock, an amazing 9th grader, who is an aspiring astrophysicist. They participated in a Biden-Harris Administration forum where organizations from across the country discussed possible solutions to today’s space-related STEM education and workforce challenges.
Sponsored by the National Space Council, the forum brought together stakeholders from the public, private, and philanthropic sectors who are committed to developing solutions to the space-related science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and workforce challenges of today, and tomorrow.
With its flagship affiliate, STEM NOLA, and other affiliates around the country, SGA implements a community engagement model that directly addresses the historical challenges and barriers to STEM access for underserved and low resourced communities. The model offers programs and initiatives that bring STEM activities into communities, making them accessible to K-12 children in all communities.
