The Stronger Together project set out to expand interest and access to STEAM careers for Sacramento's Indigenous, Black, and Latinx K-12 youth through storytelling, workshops, and in-person conversations. Two program series were custom-designed to introduce and teach the proper online etiquette, public speaking, researching, and online collaboration skills. View the virtual conversations with IBL STEAM professionals below.
