STEM Partners | MWH, now part of Stantec

MWH, now part of Stantec, is proud to advance STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) learning in children all over the world. By creating a passion for science and mathematics as classroom subjects, we are helping to ignite the imaginations of the next generation of engineers. Check out how we are getting involved below!

Sponsored 3rd Annual Girls & Science event at DMNS

On March 4th, 2017 we continued our partnership with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science by sponsoring the 3rd annual Girls & Science event. There was a variety of science clubhouses for participants to explore, each equipped with engaging STEM-based activities. This provides young girls and boys the chance to work alongside women leaders in the industry and experience the many diverse opportunities a future in science, technology, engineering, art and math can bring. Approximately 12,000 youth came, discovered and were inspired!

We are proud to partner with WFCO.

The Women’s Foundation of Colorado (WFCO) has released the 2016 Gender Equity in Colorado’s STEM Industries: The Case for Focused Workforce Investment, a continued argument in support of women in STEM fields. This report acts as a roadmap to help companies recruit, retain, and advance women in the STEM. Included is the case for the benefits of proactive hiring measures to secure a place for women in the STEM field; such as evidence that companies that hire and retain a more inclusive workforce have improved operational and financial performance and increased innovation. Furthermore, it provides a framework for companies to lead change from within, and includes a comprehensive list of resources (ranging from case studies to policies to facilitators that companies can use to accelerate progress toward gender equity and inclusion). Learn more about WFCO below or at http://www.wfco.org/STEM.

We support Tomorrow’s Engineers (TE) Week.

TE Week is supported by EngineeringUK, the Royal Academy of Engineering and many other organizations. It aims improve the transition from school to a career in engineering. The program works with a diverse range of companies in order to provide a range of educational material for young people. All of the initiatives aim to encourage schools to incorporate engineering into curriculum routines, engaging young minds to help support them with future career decisions. This is incredibly important for the UK engineering sector. Current Initiatives Focus On:

  • Industry visits Workshops
  • Science
  • Technology
  • Engineering and Math’s (STEM) Ambassador partnerships
  • Careers Resources

National Women in Engineering Day in the UK

National Women in Engineering Day in the UK was set up by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) to celebrate its 95th anniversary. On 23 June 2014 WES wanted to focus attention on the great opportunities for women in engineering, at a time when it had never been more important to address the engineering skills shortage. By encouraging girls into engineering careers we will not only be increasing diversity and inclusion – a business imperative – but enabling us to fill the substantial future job opportunities that have been predicted in this sector.

We are proud to be a part of Colorado STEM.

What is Colorado STEM? “Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is fueling economic growth and innovation across Colorado. Improving STEM education and training in Colorado schools is critical. Colorado STEM is a community-driven effort to develop and implement the Colorado STEM Education Roadmap, a plan designed to advance STEM education for all Colorado learners, meet business needs, and attract new companies to the state.” … (from http://stemforcolorado.org) What is a Colorado STEM Champion?

  • A STEM Champion is a company contributing time, talent, and financial resources to help implement the STEM Roadmap. As members of the STEM Champions Board and the State STEM Advisory Committee, they provide strategic counsel to advance STEM education statewide. This is the link to the STEM Champions Board that shows Joe Adams. http://stemforcolorado.org/who-we-are/stem-champions-board/
  • STEM Champion provide a minimum investment of $30k over 3 years
  • We have a seat on the STEM Champions Board as a voting member, Joe Adams is our representative
  • We have one seat on the STEM Advisory Committee, which includes STEM Champions board members, and state leaders such as lieutenant governor, commissioner of education, and executive directors of Colorado’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade, Department of Labor and Employment, and CWDC

We are a founding partner in the STEM Coalition for Women Foundation of Colorado.

In the movie “Field of Dreams”, actor Kevin Costner’s character is guided by an unseen voice that tells him: “If you build it, he will come.” His choice to act in the face of critics and skeptics is a game changer for more than just himself.

MWH and Arrow Electronics, a Colorado-based company serving industrial and commercial users of electronic components, have teamed up with a game plan of their own to guide change by leveraging opportunities emerging for Colorado’s STEM sector and the women living, learning and working in Colorado. The goal is to build a better vision for women. As members of a “dream team” STEM Coalition, MWH and Arrow Electronics intend to raise the bar for what can be achieved in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.

The ultimate winners in this game will be the girls and women, not only in Colorado, but across the country, who will gain increased self-sufficiency and ultimately contribute their unique perspectives and leadership across the STEM spectrum.

“Gender equity is important to our company, and we trusted that this coalition would be a catalyst for the needed change in our industry and the business community. Partnering with other companies to share what we have learned and to learn from their experiences has been a valuable experience for our business – and we hope for them as well. This is a long-term journey and we congratulate WFCO for the work they have accomplished to date,” Alan Krause, President, MWH, now part of Stantec, global operations.

We’re a proud sponsor of the 2nd Annual Girls & Science event at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

Girls of all ages come and are inspired by women in science. They visit science clubhouses, gaining hands-on experience by speaking to those in professional STEM fields. Young women leave with a passion for science and inspiration to be a professional women in the STEM fields. This year, there were more than 11,500 participants in the event. Check out our Girls and Science page on CBS 4 Denver’s website.

Here is the first in a series of videos that we have produced in support of International Women’s Day.
