In this episode, we chat with Sarah Chapman, founder of STEM Changemakers, who dedicated a year to creating life-changing STEM programs for disadvantaged girls in regional North Queensland with her Backing the Future grant.
Passionate about increasing access to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, Sarah explains how the grant enabled her to create a program that not only empowered girls to pursue STEM careers but also intercepted with community and industry involvement where the girls could pitch industry solutions - some of the girls providing ideas in just 30 minutes that industry hadn’t come up with in two years.
Sarah achieved 581 engagements with family supporters, teachers, girls, industry, and community. She says her greatest measure of success was hearing from teachers about how the program positively impacted the girls' attitudes to education in the classroom overall.
