Hiya DoSomething members,

Have y’all been thinking about college lately? Because we have. We’ve been thinking about how there are SO many STEM careers out there for different interests, skills, and personalities, but a lot of people don’t know what they are! We don’t want this to be the case for you! That’s why we created our STEM Works For Me quiz!

Our quiz is super easy and quick! You’ll learn what STEM careers might be best suited for you based on your answers. But, do you know what’s even better? You’ll also be entered for a chance to win a $2,500 scholarship! Just share a screenshot of your quiz results with a friend so that they can also take the quiz and find their dream career!

We want you to follow your passion and be educated about the wide-ranging options available in STEM. Why not get paid to do something you love while also helping to change the world? Take our quiz and maybe you’ll find a career that you didn’t even know existed!

Join us in diversifying STEM representation!

Women and BIPOC individuals have been historically underrepresented in STEM, but we want to make that a thing of the past!

Here’s why some DoSomething members believe that diversifying STEM representation will lead to more scientific advancements and equity in the field!

“A lot of people immediately think of Doctors or Scientists when they think of STEM-based careers, so they tend to shy away from learning about it due to intimidation. In reality, STEM careers represent about 6.2% of US employment, with nearly 8.6 million jobs to offer. STEM careers are a huge factor in advancing technologically and scientifically, and there are so many people involved in making this advancement happen,” said DoSomething member Aisha K., 17.

DoSomething member Daniel T., 20 said, “This campaign is important to me because I believe that STEM careers are vital for our future. By getting others involved in STEM, we can get out brightest minds together to figure out solutions to many problems, like how to cure cancer or how to clean up pollution.”

“As a woman, I have often felt discouraged from pursuing STEM,” said DoSomething member Ashley D., 18. “Further, because of the lack of representation in the STEM fields I am interested in, like technology, none of my Latine family members could guide me on the right path or give me career advice. This campaign was a great opportunity to learn more about different career paths that I might pursue as I enter college next year and it has inspired me to look more into software development. Diversifying STEM is important because it ensures that the innovations that we are pursuing are equitable and help all groups, not just those who have been historically represented in STEM. A diverse range of perspectives in the workplace generates more efficient and effective change for all individuals in our diverse world.”
