STEM Education

Hidden Figures ScholarTM Program

The Hidden Figures ScholarTM Program is a hands-on STEM education initiative designed to inspire and empower high school girls interested in pursuing careers in mathematics and computer science.

Inspired by “Hidden Figures,” a biographical book and movie highlighting the previously-unrecognized Black woman mathematicians that helped NASA win the space race, LTU’s Hidden Figures ScholarTM Program aims to support young women by offering workshops, mentorship, and scholarship opportunities. By creating a supportive environment and providing practical experience in STEM skills such as mathematics, 3D printing, and programming, the Hidden Figures ScholarTM Program prepares girls for future academic and professional success in STEM careers.

The Hidden Figures ScholarTM Program is presented in collaboration with the Marburger STEM Center.
