"Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!" is an initiative to promote STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) education and engagement to empower the next generation of STEAM leaders. We visit classrooms, camps, and college campuses to show that the Arts and the Sciences are not pitted against each other, they are infinitely and intrinsically related. We highlight influential women who have been innovators in STEAM fields (check out our book!), not only to show how what they've accomplished, but also to show the next generation what they are capable of.
In this episode, I talk with Kierra Page about data privacy, cyber security, computer science, and what it means to be a Woman in STEM. We share tips for getting an internship, how to create a resume, and how to not feel alone while in a male-dominated classroom or workplace. Featuring Kierra Page: IG @codingwithki
Christie is with CodeHers.Co, a student-run collective dedicated to closing the gender gap in computer science. Christie is organizing the first CodeHers Hack!, a hack-a-thon for coders of all experience levels to learn and practice their skills as they compete in a virtual competition to create a website, a game, or a an app. Learn more about CodeHer Collective be visiting their website, CodeHers.Co, where they have free coding classes (one or two might even be taught by our guest, Christie!), and stay up-to-date with future events they'll host.

World Wildlife Day, instituted by the United Nations, celebrates forest-based livelihoods and seek to promote forest and forest wildlife management models and practices that accommodate both human well-being and the long-term conservation of forests, forest-dwelling species of wild fauna and flora and the ecosystems they sustain, and promote the value of traditional practices and knowledge that contribute to establishing a more sustainable relationship with these crucial natural systems. On March 3rd 2021, I sat down with Dakota Derstein, Miss Santa Fe Trail 2020, to discuss what she's doing for our world's wildlife through her Social Impact Initiative, C.A.R.E. - Conserving And Restoring Ecosystems. (We also had a chance to chat about @sedgwickcountyzoo's newest addition!
Welcome back for Season 2 of the “Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!” Podcast! This season, we're excited to share the stories of inspiring people across the country who are empowering the next generation of innovators. Join us on this journey as we hear interviews, conversations, and lectures from these inspiring young women, and follow along wherever you listen to podcasts!
“Mathematics may not teach us how to add love and to subtract hate, but it gives us hope that every problem has a solution. We just need to find it.” — Roger W. Davis Mathematics involves numbers, equations, algorithms, and formulas to solve problems. By quantifying the world around us, we can count, measure, graph, and forecast solutions to the issues we face every day. Today's episode of innovators highlights Georgia Neese Clark Gray, the first female Treasurer of the United States.
“I think there's an artist hidden in the bottom of every single one of us.” — Bob Ross Art can be expressed through paintings, words, music, pictures, sculptures, plays, and many other mediums. Art is using creativity to express yourself and to share your interpretation of the world around you. Today's episode highlights Glinda the Good Witch herself, Kristin Chenoweth.
“Successful engineering is all about understanding how things break or fail.” — Henry Petroski Engineering is the act of solving problems, from the large-scale problems, like how to construct a bridge, to the small-scale problems, like how to design a pacemaker.

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math, and it has been used as a popular acronym in advocacy for an increase in STEAM education in schools. The intent is to increase creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, and flexibility. "Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!" is an initiative to promote STEAM education and engagement to empower the next generation of STEAM leaders. We visit classrooms, camps, and college campuses to show that the Arts and the Sciences are not pitted against each other, they are infinitely and intrinsically related. We highlight influential women who have been innovators in STEAM fields (check out our book!), not only to show how what they've accomplished, but also to show the next generation what they are capable of.
