Meet Mamasa, a shining star of our She is STEM student design team, a team of 19 students who are working to help us understand how to make STEM education and careers accessible for girls and young women. Mamasa is passionate about STEM and is determined to help other young girls like her pursue their dreams through STEM. You can read what Mamasa has to say about STEM and the student design team in her blogpost titled: “Washington STEM’s Student Design Team: I’m a student and I’ve got insight.”

Quote from Mamasa: "I love makeup and clothing, and I have a huge interest in STEM-related subjects because I know it will help me get onto the right education path for my future career. As a woman of color, when shopping for makeup, it is incredibly difficult to find the correct skin-tone shade and I want to be able to make that easier. In order to make that happen, I need to take a lot of science classes."

Thanks to your support, Mamasa and students just like her are experiencing career connected learning in a meaningful way, preparing them for a future in high-demand, exciting careers. Check out our video on career connected learning across Washington learn more.

Your support powers access to high quality career connected learning experiences for every student in Washington.
