National STEM Festival Youth Innovators Gain Access to Career Development Tool
SkyHive congratulates the thousands of U.S. 6th to 12th graders who participated in the STEM Challenge and the 128 winners representing each U.S. state and territory who traveled to Washington D.C. and presented their innovative ideas to STEM leaders across the U.S. government.
Government Technology reported that “One student demonstrated how artificial intelligence aids the early detection of Parkinson’s disease. Another found a way to develop low-cost prosthetic limbs through three-dimensional printing. Another explained how to create liners for heating, air conditioning and ventilating systems from milkweed and other organic materials.”
SkyHive is pleased to play a role in nurturing youth innovator STEM identities. The impressive young innovators who entered the STEM Challenge now receive free access to the SkyHive AI-powered STEM Career Explorer, customized specifically for STEM career exploration and skill building, where they can connect the skills they’ve developed to the formation of their long-term STEM identity.
This skills-based approach to career development helps young people benefit from the nearly 11% increase in U.S. employment in STEM occupations from 2022 to 2032 and earn a median wage of US$97,980, more than double the median of non-STEM positions, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
As a mission-oriented certified B Corporation recognized by the World Economic Forum and Gartner for our contributions to the future of work, SkyHive helps organizations and communities worldwide from Accenture, Best Buy, and Collège La Cité to Unilever, Workday, and Zinnia transition from jobs to skills.
