Young women belong in STEM. Full stop.
But for many students, that sense of belonging starts with access: access to mentors, hands-on learning, real workplaces, and most importantly to people who help them see what's possible.
That is what Eden found so powerful about SPIN.
As an aerospace engineer at Blue Origin, Eden first connected with SPIN during a student field trip. She saw students asking questions, trying new things, and getting excited about space, engineering, and their own futures.
“What I loved right away was seeing young women so excited about space and getting that hands-on experience, because engineering is something you learn by doing.”
For Eden, mentorship is personal. Growing up, she knew she wanted to be an engineer, but she did not have many examples of women in STEM around her.
Now, she is helping change that for SPIN students.
“When students see people like them in these roles, it breaks stereotypes. They start to think, ‘Oh, I can do this job too.’”
That is why supporting SPIN matters.
Your support gives students the tools, confidence, and real-world exposure to see STEM as a path that includes them.
