Underrepresented Minorities in STEM

Underrepresented minorities in STEM are groups such as Black, Hispanic, Native American, and other ethnic communities that participate in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields at lower rates compared to their population sizes. This disparity can result from systemic barriers like limited access to quality education, mentorship, and resources. Addressing this gap is important for fostering diversity, driving innovation, and ensuring that all perspectives contribute to scientific and technological advancements. Efforts aim to create equitable opportunities, encouraging more minorities to pursue and succeed in STEM careers.
