Diversity in STEM is Critical to Economic Development

Our economy is currently experiencing a widening gender and race gap in critical STEM professions. This locks our nation out of realizing innovations that could be imagined and created by networks of diverse technical professionals.

Maydm is dedicated to connecting with organizations and individuals who are committed to inspire, educate, and equip girls and youth of color with the computing skills they’ll need to pursue 21st century opportunities.

Your support helps provide the confidence and background knowledge required for girls and youth of color to pursue advanced STEM professions.
