March Madness…but this time, it was about more than the game. 🏀

A special thank you to Nick’s Fish House for opening their doors for community, conversation, and a little healthy competition. From learning more about the work behind The Be. Org to going head-to-head in our men’s and women’s bracket challenges it was a night that reminded us why we do what we do.

Shoutout to our bracket winners 🏆 (y’all came to WIN)
And love to everyone who showed up, tapped in, and continues to stand with us.

Because this? This is how momentum feels.

And we’re building on it.
What’s coming next…you’ll want to be in the room for. 👀

• Choose meaningful topics
• Structure their story

The mathematicians known as the “Hidden Figures” were a team of Black women whose calculations were essential to early U.S. space missions. Their work at NASA helped send astronauts into orbit and laid the groundwork for future space exploration.

Their legacy highlights an important truth about STEM: progress is often built through collaboration, problem-solving, and persistence. There are many roles and many ways to belong in STEM fields.
STEM success is built through teamwork and problem-solving!

Caleb Anderson is a powerful example of what can happen when young people are given access, encouragement, and academic support. He became one of the youngest individuals in the country to earn a college degree and has continued pursuing studies in engineering and STEM advocacy.

His story reminds us that talent exists everywhere but opportunity does not. Early exposure and consistent support play a critical role in helping students build confidence and envision long-term pathways in STEM.
Early access and support unlock student potential!
