STEAM & Self-Esteem: The "More Than" Campaign

Description:

Kids are facing huge issues like belonging, fear, call-out culture, cancel culture, fixed mindset vs growth mindset, etc. FIRST Robotics and its collaborators held 6-months of listening sessions with psychologists, activities programmers, parents, kids and other educator stakeholders to explore how adults can better help build the competencies and confidence that leads to higher self-esteem. The result? The national "MORE THAN" campaign leveraging insights and data that speak to the feelings that kids carry in relation to bias and social assumptions; and th role adults play in preparing young people for the future.
