Empowering students through Learning Undefeated

Since 2018, we have partnered with Learning Undefeated, 这是一个非营利组织，通过为资源不足社区的学生提供体验式和深度影响的学习体验，积极推动STEM领域的种族和性别平等, to deliver STEM programming lending career and skills education to empower students and teachers. Key programme elements include:

• Drop Anywhere Labs: An award-winning, mobile, immersive STEM learning experience for middle and high school students. Developed with teachers and STEM industry experts, the labs’ interactive, game-based challenges encourage students to solve real, scientific problems while our volunteer employees provide students with guidance and knowledge. Through our partnership, we have been able to reach over 1.5 million students and 25,000 teachers across all 50 states.
• Emerging Leaders in STEM Programme: As champions of inclusion and diversity, 澳门第一赌城在线娱乐努力在澳门第一赌城在线娱乐所做的每一件事上扩大公平代表权，因为澳门第一赌城在线娱乐知道这将影响未来学生的成功. Through our support of this programme, 高中和大学女性与来自马里兰州和大华盛顿地区STEM职业的各种专业人士配对, DC area to get direct experience working with STEM fields before entering the workforce.
• 世代健康:为6-8年级的学生和澳门第一赌城在线娱乐的员工提供了一个符合标准的实验学习资源，作为该计划的一部分，将他们的行业知识带入课堂，并激励学生考虑在医疗保健领域从事STEM职业.

Engaging the local community with STEM partnerships

To support our goal of making STEM accessible to all, we partner with other national and global STEM education initiatives to develop future scientists, researchers and innovators. Near our Gaithersburg campus, we have partnered with local groups to realise this goal and help students beyond the classroom setting.

Our sponsorship of teams in FIRST LEGO League 使志愿者能够在机器人和可持续和可再生能源战略领域指导和指导中学生, for them to identify potential technological solutions. Similarly, our ACT-SO volunteers engage in community-based events to demonstrate academic, scientific, and artistic achievement through competitions. With our support of Junior Achievement Finance Park, 学生们通过志愿者的经验学习控制未来财务所需的数学知识, expertise and guidance so that they are inspired and prepared when the time comes to work.

To help students further their ambitions in STEM, we support other education programmes including sponsoring the UF Health Cancer Center’s 高中生癌症研究研讨会，学生们从癌症研究人员那里了解到各种STEM职业道路. We also partner with the University of Maryland’s CURE Scholars Program, 旨在帮助巴尔的摩服务不足和弱势社区的学生通过指导获得学业和职业上的成功, training and inspiring them to reach for rewarding futures in research, STEM or health care professions.

UK programming highlights

澳门第一赌城在线娱乐在英国的STEM外展计划支持派遣志愿者到当地学校支持基层活动, including our school STEM learning network-based Enthuse Partnerships. Notably, in the UK, 澳门第一赌城在线娱乐开发了一系列基于课程的STEM资源，重点关注7至14岁的儿童，这些资源使用澳门第一赌城在线娱乐创新的STEM虚拟世界体验(一个将学生带入澳门第一赌城在线娱乐实验室的数字学习平台)来交付. 

Since 2018, local students have also been invited to provide original artwork via the Science In Pictures project, where students are invited to create a picture that captures what science means to them. More recently, we have completed Science In Pictures II, 它将被整合成一件新的艺术品，欢迎参观者来到剑桥生物医学园区的研发中心和公司总部.

Cambridge, UK partnerships

We extend programming reach through partnerships with UK STEM organisations, societies and institutions, with a focus on reaching underrepresented populations and communities. 员工志愿者支持澳门第一赌城在线娱乐与R附近的多个剑桥组织的长期合作伙伴关系&D headquarters. Since 2015, we have been working with the Cambridge Science Centre to serve 60,000 children and young adults annually in their discovery of science, and since 2013 we have partnered with the Cambridge University Science Festival, providing outreach activities, panel sessions and sponsorship, as well as the Big Biology Day. 澳门第一赌城在线娱乐还支持剑桥科学技术学院，为14-16岁的青少年举办年度医药制造商挑战赛.

Sweden programming highlights

Our Sweden STEM programme supports community initiatives to interest young people in STEM. In collaboration with external partners, we support STEM students grades 4 - 9 with school visits, summer research school, a science festival and individualised mentoring to encourage pursuit of the study of natural sciences.

As a core tenant of our work in Sweden, we organise an annual summer research school together with the association “Unga Forskare,” for students aged 14-16. The programme serves to inspire interest in science and create long-term curiosity, give students a community where interest in science is encouraged, 提供科学在社会中的重要性的观点，形成一个学校和职业生活的聚会场所，并向学生展示澳门第一赌城在线娱乐公司内其他年轻的科学榜样.

Boost4Life with mentor Sweden

Together with our Young Health Programme partner, Mentor Sweden, we are running a STEM project, Boost4Life, 旨在通过与成年人关于未来想法和机会的日常对话来支持和激励九年级学生, 特别是在榜样很少的环境中，许多年轻人对自己的未来缺乏自信和信任. In the programme, Södertälje和哥德堡的一些学校班级与澳门第一赌城在线娱乐团队的志愿者和Mentor Sweden的工作人员会面, 该计划包括参观澳门第一赌城在线娱乐的设施，并与其他STEM合作伙伴会面，以提高学生对自然科学科目的兴趣.
