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 proposed to present secondary school young ladies of shading to mechanical building and empower them to connect 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 finance venture proposition that would give underserved populaces access to innovation and STEM training. See What You Can Be, which is being directed by ASMEs Engineering Education division, is imagined as a daylong gathering for up to 25 female secondary school understudies from underrepresented networks in the United States. Five female undergrad designing understudies will partake as coaches 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 experience headsets for a hands-on action in which the building coaches will acquaint the understudies with the idea of augmented reality and clarify the different applications for computer generated reality in the designing field. The tutors will likewise enable the young ladies to make a video blog reporting 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 designing from ladies who are seeking after vocations in the field, the projects by and large target is to show the understudies who take an interest that professions in science, innovation, building and arithmetic (STEM) are a reasonable alternative for them. Our objective isn't for each lady to go into designing, yet to give ladies presentation to building and let them choose their way liberated from societys weight, generalizations and inclinations, said Ashley Huderson, administrator of ASME Engineering Education, who is executing the program alongside Aisha Lawrey, chief of ASME Engineering Education, and Patti Jo Rosenthal, director of K-12 projects for ASME.
