During the month of May, VPOST and the Million Girls Moonshot celebrates Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month (AAPI Heritage Month). Our country owes a lot of our success to many hardworking, innovative AAPI computer scientists, engineers, and other STEM professionals. Let's pay tribute to and highlight a host of AAPI professionals who have contributed to the STEM fields.

Join us for our May Equity in OST STEM Coalition Meeting

Join us on Wednesday, May 11th at 10:30 AM for our next meeting. No prior attendance is required. Just an interest in creating more equitable opportunities for youth in expanded STEM learning opportunities.

Let’s Show the Nation how Virginia Does STEM in Afterschool!

VPOST is a part of the Million Girls Moonshot, helping out-of-school time programs as they increase the quality of STEM learning opportunities for all young people, especially for underserved and underrepresented youth. (Learn more at https://milliongirlsmoonshot.org/)

The Moonshot seeks to re-imagine who can engineer, who can build, who can make. It will inspire and prepare the next generation of innovators by engaging one million more girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) learning opportunities through afterschool and summer programs over the next 5 years.

Every state is asking afterschool and summer programs to share more about how they do STEM. Please join this important effort! Your answers will help us to better understand how we can best support afterschool and summer programs statewide. The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete.

Everyone who responds will be entered into a drawing to win one of ten $100 Visa gift cards.
