We had our second opportunity to attend the oSTEM Annual Conference in November. This year in its eighth iteration, hosted in Houston, Texas titled “Making Space for Everybody” with companies such as The Home Depot, NASA, NIA, Raytheon and many more. This year we were lucky enough to be able to double the number of our members attending. Some highlights from the workshops and keynotes this year include the Leadership Summit, Mayor Annise Parker, the first openly LGBTQ mayor of an American city, Steve Riley from NASA’s Johnson Space Centre, Queering Biology Classrooms and Discussion On Encouraging STEM in Primary Education. We also had the chance to meet up with other chapters, many of which we’d kept in close contact with over the past year and even tour the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences.
