Could you do what you do without your laptop?
For students building futures in STEM, access to technology is everything.
SMASH partnered with @Inspireduatl to support Atlanta scholars with digital literacy training, helping them sharpen the skills they need to research, create, ...apply, explore, and move through an increasingly digital world.
Scholars also got set up with laptops courtesy of Inspiredu, giving them more tools to keep learning, building, and chasing what’s next. 💻✨

POV: your future starts feeling a lot more real 👀
SMASH alumni spent the day at PG&E Headquarters in Oakland getting an inside look at career pathways in action.
Scholars met employees across teams, heard real career stories, toured the office, and learned how to use ...LinkedIn to open doors. This was all about helping scholars see what’s possible and how to get there.
Big thank you to @PacificGasAandElectric and the PG&E Foundation for making the space, time, and mentorship happen. Sometimes all it takes is being in the room.
