ATLANTA - Aug. 10, 2020 - On August 1st, Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link Inc. (SEM Link) kicked off its 2020-21 fiscal year and its 15th year of programming. SEM Link's programs and events will take place virtually until at least December 2020 via social media platforms and virtual events. " SEM Link's programs have been on hiatus since March, when this pandemic first started and we have truly missed hosting in person program activities. In order to keep our staff, volunteers and program participants safe, we decided it is best to kick off the new fiscal year with virtual programs and events. We are excited to "unveil potential through exposure' for another year; virtually until it is safe to resume in-person programming " states Ms. Tokiwa Smith.
SEM Link's virtual program and events will include a combination of online fundraising campaign and virtual fundraising events, Instastory series, social media campaigns and contests and virtual STEM events. Some of our virtual program activities are:
• Instastory Series (weekly), where we discuss a different real world STEM topic
• IG Takeovers (monthly)- a STEM professional takes over our Instagram page
• STEM in the City Workshops-introduce youth to earth and environmental science
• Teen Science Cafe- STEM professionals share their career journey and STEM field with teens
