Are you passionate to share your experience and love for STEM with youth?
Pink Space Theory is looking for engaging and passionate STEM teachers interested in teaching coding and engineering to middle school students to help close the STEM gender and racial equity gaps.
Pink Space Theory aims to remove barriers that may prohibit underserved youth, particularly girls of color from pursuing STEAM careers. We want to do our part to provide youth, especially girls, with learning opportunities to engage, expose, and empower them to pursue future STEAM careers.
We offer our programs to students attending disadvantaged schools in Prince William County, Virginia. Prince William County is home to 40,000 students in fifty-nine elementary schools. More than 50 percent of these students are minorities, and more than 45 percent are considered economically disadvantaged-usually, these students are identified as those "qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
Must be available between 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm ET.
If you are interested in inspiring the next generation of computer scientists/coders and engineers apply at https://bit.ly/PSTVolunteer.

Mission Statement
To engage students through individualized, student-centered, and hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math programs. To stimulate students’ passions and abilities to think critically, communicate freely, and work with others in collaborative and creative ways.
Description
Pink Space Theory (PST) will integrate science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM) into project-based learning challenges for K-8 students using a mobile makerspace ("mobile fab lab"). The team-based activities will include robotics, computer-aided, and tactile assisted design. This will be the first such program in Northern Virginia.
The goals of the program are to:
- Complement what students are learning academically,
- Introduce students to new ways to approach subjects to help them understand challenging concepts, and;
- Enhance technological literacy to enable students to effectively use technology to access, evaluate, integrate, create, and communicate information through STEAM activities
