In an effort to enhance STEM education for young women, 3M has partnered with Greenlight for Girls (g4g), an international non-profit organization. This collaboration aims to organize events and workshops offering girls hands-on experiences and mentorship opportunities, showcasing the diverse career paths in STEM fields.
The initiative will begin with a series of interactive STEM days, where students can connect with mentors, engage in practical activities, and explore various STEM careers. 3M’s STEM ambassadors will be integral to these events, demonstrating the wide range of career opportunities available in science and engineering.
Rachel Owen, Head of Brand and Corporate Communications at 3M, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, "We are proud to partner with g4g, as 3M has a rich tradition of inspiring students through STEM activities. This takes place at our major sites and through the encouragement of employee volunteering, especially through our STEM ambassador network. This partnership is more than just an investment in STEM; it's an investment in the future of innovation and a diverse future workforce."
Greenlight for Girls is dedicated to encouraging girls of all ages and backgrounds to pursue STEM subjects and careers. Since its inception, g4g has conducted over 500 events in 39 countries, impacting more than 60,000 girls and young women with support from a network of 13,000 STEM professionals and mentors.
Melissa Rancourt, Founder of Greenlight for Girls, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration: “Together with 3M, we aim to light a path for girls in the UK and Ireland to discover the endless possibilities within STEM fields. Our message is clear: every girl has the potential to achieve greatness in science and technology, and we're here to support that journey every step of the way.”
