Pride in STEM

Pride in STEM is a UK-based charity and global community that celebrates and supports LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, and math. Through events like Pride in STEM Day, outreach talks, and online resources, it highlights queer scientists’ contributions and advocates for more inclusive research spaces. Educators and families appreciate its visibility campaigns and profiles that help students see themselves reflected in STEM fields. It’s best for older teens and adults, especially in clubs or classes discussing representation and career paths. Content is geared toward grown-ups, so younger students may need curated excerpts. Using Pride in STEM stories alongside traditional STEM career lessons broadens students’ sense of who belongs in these fields.
