Role Models
Terri Burns, Investor, GV (Google Ventures)
Role models and mentors show young people what is possible. They inspire and demonstrate the skills needed to succeed.
STEM role models are especially important for young women and girls and youth of color, as role models help dispel negative stereotypes about who can be successful in STEM.
The IF/THEN Collection provides open-sourced assets to help girls see STEM professionals who are as diverse as they are, strengthening their ability to identify with STEM and see STEM as a potential career pathway.
