ASME Receives Grant from Lenovo Foundation to Develop New STEM Outreach Program ASME as of late got a $10,000 award from the Lenovo Foundation to support the advancement of another program, See What You Can Be, which is expected to present secondary school young ladies of shading to mechanical building and empower them to interface with female designing understudies and rehearsing engineers. ASME was one of 16 finalists chose from a field of 90 candidates to get an award from the Lenovo Foundations new Love On program, which was set up to subsidize venture recommendations that would give underserved populaces access to innovation and STEM instruction. See What You Can Be, which is being directed by ASMEs Engineering Education division, is imagined as a daylong discussion for up to 25 female secondary school understudies from underrepresented networks in the United States. Five female undergrad designing understudies will partake as tutors at every one of the occasions. The program is booked to dispatch one month from now at ASME E-Fest North in East Lansing, Mich., with two extra occasions anticipated Atlanta, Ga., and Washington, D.C., in the not so distant future. The See What You Can Be occasions will incorporate three building based exercises that address the encounters of minority ladies in the field of mechanical designing. The Lenovo award will be utilized explicitly to buy eight computer generated simulation headsets for a hands-on movement in which the building guides will acquaint the understudies with the idea of augmented reality and clarify the different applications for augmented reality in the designing field. The tutors will likewise enable the young ladies to make a video blog archiving their encounters during the daylong program. In spite of the fact that the See What You Can Be discussions will offer the understudies a prologue to building from ladies who are seeking after professions in the field, the projects by and large goal is to show the understudies who take part that vocations in science, innovation, designing and arithmetic (STEM) are a practical choice for them. Our objective isn't for each lady to go into building, yet to furnish ladies with introduction to designing and let them choose their way liberated from societys weight, generalizations and predispositions, said Ashley Huderson, supervisor of ASME Engineering Education, who is actualizing the program alongside Aisha Lawrey, chief of ASME Engineering Education, and Patti Jo Rosenthal, director of K-12 projects for ASME.
