STEM Goes Red

Engaging Students in STEM
Preparing the next generation of female scientists, doctors, inventors and changemakers is essential if we want to advance health and hope for everyone, everywhere. That’s why the American Heart Association is working to close the equality gap in STEM through an educational program called STEM Goes Red. The program draws from our strong legacy of science, education and discovery to help propel young women into rewarding careers in STEM.
