2 Dear Supporter, San Antonio has an important gap to fill in the workforce areas of science, technology, engineer, and mathematics (STEM). Hispanics make up 20 percent of the nation s youth population, yet only 2 percent of the STEM workforce is Hispanic, according to recent data from the U.S. Dept. of Education. Nationally, only 12% of Hispanics in 2009, graduated with a 2-year degree in STEM and only 8% graduated with a 4-year degree in STEM. In a city that is the up-and-coming leader in cybersecurity, military STEM careers, and other STEMfocused workforce needs, one thing is certain: we need change. For five years, the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has hosted the largest STEM Conference in San Antonio: the Annual CORE4 STEM Expo. Now in its sixth year, this event is a great effort to inspire our young San Antonio students to explore future careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. This year s CORE4 STEM Expo will be held on November 14-18, 2015 during San Antonio STEM Week, another tradition initiated by the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the City of San Antonio. The 6th Annual CORE4 STEM Expo event consists of a Latina Day (all girls), Latino Day (all boys), and Family Day where students are joined by their parents and younger siblings on a college campus, often for the first time. This enlightening event will bring together more than 4,500 middle school students from five inner-city school districts to experience hands-on, interactive ways to enhance their educational attainment in STEM. The majority of the students come from South San, Harlandale, Southwest, Edgewood, and San Antonio Independent School Districts, the districts with the most significant educational attainment issues. The students invited to the event are those in need of the greatest STEM push. These students will become San Antonio s future workforce and determine the future economic success of this region and our nation. This unique Expo involves local San Antonio corporations, businesses, governmental agencies, and institutions of higher-education. This presents a personal opportunity for students to see the many different types of STEM opportunities and careers that are available to them in the future. We encourage you to support this very important effort. Thank you for your kind consideration. Sincerely, Ramiro A. Cavazos President & CEO San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Dr. Raul Rudy Reyna Chairman, Education Committee San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

3 B1: Mission To increase awareness and interest of middle school students in college and STEM careers (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). DESCRIPTION By using hands-on sessions taught by local community leaders, our students get to experience STEM career opportunities in their own community. We separate our Expo into three days: Latina Day (all girls), Latino Day (all boys), and Familia Day (where students can bring their families with them while they learn about STEM). Many San Antonio business and education leaders step up to teach sessions for our students. Past presenters have included: Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas, AT&T, Rackspace, CPS Energy, Time Warner Cable, Boeing, Whataburger, the United States Navy, NASA, FIRST Robotics, Geekdom, Alamo Colleges, the University of the Incarnate Word, St. Mary s University, Texas A&M San Antonio, The University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio Public Library, Girls Inc., Bot Shop, Discover Engineering, the Texas Alliance of Minorities in Engineering (TAME), Taco Cabana, and many more! STUDENTS CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE The original AT&T Grant to kick start this program was awarded in At the time, the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce targeted the five school districts who demonstrated the highest at-risk/at need populations: Edgewood Independent School District, San Antonio Independent School District, Harlandale Independent School District, Southwest Independent School District, and South San Independent School District. Our Annual CORE4 STEM Expo is a weeklong event which includes a Latina Day (all girls), Latino Day (all boys), Family Day (students bring their families) and a VIP Thank You Dinner for all our partners, school district representatives, sponsors, and Education Committee. Our 6th Annual CORE4 STEM Expo will bring together more than 4,500 middle school students from at-risk school districts including: Harlandale ISD, South San ISD, Edgewood ISD, Southwest ISD, and San Antonio ISD. These students will experience ways to enhance their educational attainment in STEM. Our Expo allows the students to experience and engage in STEM Career learning opportunities in an exciting, fun way through hands-on sessions taught by our community partners. These students will become San Antonio s future workforce and determine our future economic success. With the support of Mayor Julian Castro and Congressman Joaquin Castro, this event has become an annual tradition in which San Antonio dedicates the week getting students excited about STEM pathways. Since 1929, the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, America s first Hispanic Chamber, has represented the interests of all small business owners who have needed a strong voice to earn an equal share of the American dream.

4 San Antonio STEM Week In 2013, Mayor Julián Castro read the official City of San Antonio STEM Week Proclamation on the steps of City Hall. This partnership led by the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is focused on developing more San Antonio students to become the next generation of STEM professionals and entrepreneurs. Every year since, we have worked with the City of San Antonio to continue the Proclamation Tradition for San Antonio STEM Week. As San Antonio s economy diversifies to include more innovation and technology jobs, we must continue to expand STEM education opportunities so that local students are prepared to join our city s workforce and drive San Antonio s future growth and prosperity. - Congressman Joaquin Castro I am or will be the first in my immediate family to go to college % % %
