And one of the ways we do that is through STEM enrichment programs that create new pathways to engineering careers for underrepresented talent. Last month, our company\u2019s UK-Reading office had the pleasure of hosting 27 students from The Kendrick School \u2013 an area all-girls school \u2013 for a STEM-focused Business Insights Day that immersed these students, our future leaders, in our approach to automotive business science.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2740 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urbanscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/UK-Stem-Image-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.urbanscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/UK-Stem-Image-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.urbanscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/UK-Stem-Image.jpg 739w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>During the action-packed day, the students took a tour of the office, discovered how we transform market challenges into business certainty through our various science-driven solutions and also learned about our strong relationships with our clients, leading automakers in the UK and around the world. Additionally, these students gained first-hand perspective about the journey to \u2013 and through \u2013 STEM careers from UK-based Urban Scientists who know firsthand what it takes to thrive in engineering and other STEM disciplines. Our leaders\u2019 insights and experiences added a real-world perspective to what students often view as ambiguous and highly technical career paths, and opened doors for mentorship and growth in the future.<\/p>\n<p>As the auto industry\u2019s leading problem solvers, we couldn\u2019t finish the day without challenging the future scientists to find creative solutions of their own. The students participated in a STEM-focused project closely related to Urban Science\u2019s automotive retail network planning business. The project tasked students with determining how many e-scooters will be needed in Reading by 2025. Along with a thorough analysis, the students were instructed to pinpoint locations for the e-scooters stations. In groups of five to six people, the girls presented their findings. The presentations were engaging, strategic and incredibly thorough \u2013 and although one team won, everyone delivered, and most importantly, <em>learned<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Urban Science, our vision is to create a better future powered by science and the entrepreneurial spirit, and to fully realize this vision, it\u2019s critical that we engage young women in conversations about STEM and careers in engineering,\u201d said Helen McClure, human resources manager. \u201cOur day with students from The Kendrick School was mutually inspiring and we look forward to continuing these conversations on a global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Girls Collaborative Project, women make up only\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ngcproject.org\/sites\/default\/files\/downloadables\/2022-03\/ngcp_stateofgirlsandwomeninstem_2022b.pdf\">34%\u00a0<\/a>of the workforce in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). This is a statistic Urban Science is committed to increasing \u2013 <em>and sustaining<\/em>. \u00a0In the past two years, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanscience.com\/zh\/resources\/urban-science-awards-25000-to-create-engineering-pathways-for-metro-detroit-girls-diversify-stem-fields\/\">donated $50,000<\/a> to The Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD) Girls in Engineering Academy. Additionally, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanscience.com\/zh\/resources\/urban-science-gifts-additional-26000-to-wsu-to-fund-national-society-of-black-engineers-endowed-scholarships\/\">contributed to an endowment<\/a> with the National Society of Black Engineers at Wayne State University, our founder Jim Anderson\u2019s alma matter.
