Equity in STEM Grant• Funded by National Alliance for Partnerships in
Equity (NAPE)• On September 26, 2011, the
White House and the National Science Foundation recognized NAPE for its STEM Equity Pipeline initiative, which is “adding momentum to a nationwide shift that promises to strengthen the US economy and job security even as it strengthens families across the country.”
GOALS of the Stem Equity Pipeline (SEP)
• Building the capacity of the formal education community
• Connecting the outcomes to existing accountability systems
• Broadening the commitment to gender equity and diversity in STEM Education.

Final Thought…
“Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch - what make you go
beyond the norm.”
