Vision: Our Future
We are uniquely placed to facilitate important dialogue among students to share commonalities among cultures and illustrate the role STEM plays in tackling global challenges. How exciting it is to contribute to the development of critical thinking skills, and provide mindful service to our communities!
We also have an eye towards skillsets that will enable the socioeconomic upliftment of our participants. For the next 10 years, we will focus on supporting STEM-based entrepreneurship, drug discovery, and grow into the computational side of STEM. The next big insights and discoveries will be made by people combining the results from biology experiments with data science tools (e.g. artificial intelligence). SOSA can lead the way in helping the next generation of scientists to gain these skill sets. This will have profound impact on human health and our environment.
