EFH18 STEM Festival - Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Drones & More

STEM4US! is a non-profit organization formed to support colleges, universities, and K-12 schools along with afterschool programs, parents and advocates in training students in STEM.  Realizing our nation's shortage in IT workers, as an organization, we have a specific focus on ramping up the numbers and diversity of our country's cybersecurity, data analytics, and artificial intellegence workforce.We achieve this mission through several national and DC-based initiatives including the Capitol Hill STEM Power Lunch ™ Series and the Energy, Technology, and Finance STEM & Cybersecurity Festival  ™, the organization’s signature events.  These high-level policy conversations provide platforms to examine ways to boost American innovation with a particular emphasis on removing barriers for women, African American, and Hispanic innovators.A video from a prior event can be foundathttp://bit.ly/1FZS9tk.More about STEM4US! can be found atwww.stem4us.org.
