NSTA National Conference
During the 2026 NSTA National Conference, members of Learning Undefeated’s education team will be presenting on our Emerging Leaders in STEM program. Join us on Friday, April 17 for our session, “Emerging Leaders in Biotech: Cultivating skills, confidence and career awareness.”
The Emerging Leaders in STEM program combines virtual STEM career workshops with in person biotechnology laboratory sessions to build a sense of community and belonging in students to increase their confidence in pursuing a career in STEM. This model combines lessons in career education, speaker sessions with STEM professionals and the technical skills and knowledge required in a STEM career to better prepare students to be internship and college ready. By using a hybrid model, the program is scalable to so the program can be run in different communities and adapted to local needs by using training teachers locally to run the summer sessions. This session will go over how the Emerging Leaders in STEM program is run, discuss techniques that can be used in informal and formal education, and discuss the teacher training model.
