However, it can be challenging to recruit and retain future STEM teachers from underrepresented groups. The 100Kin10 Diversifying the STEM Teacher Pipeline Project Team is curating information and resources about how current programs, organizations and education institutions are directly engaged in the recruitment, preparation and retention of pre-service teachers to diversify the STEM teacher workforce.

Education DIVE
In 2010, Abril Vela was in 9th grade in the Chicago Public Schools when the district was in the early stages of implementing its Computer Science for All initiative. Recruited by a counselor into an introductory computer science course, she was intrigued by the content, but felt "extremely out of place." Beyond using Microsoft Office and browsing the internet, she couldn't imagine how computer science would have any place in her future. But now, as a special projects coordinator with the district initiative, she's working to expand access to computer science for other girls and minorities.

There is a significant lack of female representation in the modern world of computer science. It's an issue that must be addressed. It's not because women are less capable than men when it comes to working in this sector. In fact, women used to be heavily involved in computer science, and for decades, the number of women involved in the field actually outpaced men. However, in the 1980s, things changed. The percentage of women in computer science started to drastically fall.

Built In
Kids file into their classroom, nervous to meet the new teacher. But anxiety and apprehension quickly turn to curiosity and surprise when they see who it is — more accurately, what it is. Greeting them is Robin, a 23-inch-tall humanoid robot with a friendly expression on its facsimile-of-a-face. It's far more subdued-looking than other humanoids, some of which seem to be straight out of a psychedelic fever dream by Stanley Kubrick — or Sid & Marty Krofft. And that's by design.
