Today, it is with great pleasure that STEMchain announces Science Cheerleaders as a new partner. Science Cheerleaders, Inc. is a non profit organization comprised of hundreds of current and former NFL, NBA and college cheerleaders pursuing careers in STEM.

Science Cheerleaders playfully challenges stereotypes, inspires young women to consider STEM careers, and encourages people from all walks of life to engage in science through their customized STEM activities and citizen science projects. Science Cheerleaders perform science-themed routines and cheers and demonstrate the science of cheerleading at local and national events.

Science Cheerleaders are currently testing Science Cheerleaders-themed STEM kits, where kids can learn about their STEM and cheer backgrounds and participate in a science or engineering activity related to their own careers. These kits provide a soft introduction into the world of STEM guided by successful female scientists and engineers who also happen to love cheer and dance.

“I founded Science Cheerleaders to unite the citizen’s desire to be heard and valued, the scientist’s growing interest in the public’s involvement, and government’s need to garner public support. Science Cheerleaders serves to get the conversation going, rally the troops, solicit views from all sides and change the tone of science and science policy in this country. I am honored to be included and excited to partner with STEMchain as their platform will enable Science Cheerleaders to amplify our reach and encourage more students to pursue STEM subjects. I believe that STEMchain provides an important new mechanism for funding STEM programs like Science Cheerleaders.” — Darlene Cavalier, Founder, Science Cheerleaders

Partnering with STEMchain will help Science Cheerleaders leverage an ever-growing cryptocurrency market currently valued at over $346B USD to improve outcomes in STEM education.

Science Cheerleaders will utilize STEMchain’s ecosySTEM platform to build awareness and connect with donors, by accepting crypto funds capable of providing enhanced transparency.

STEM Coin inherently provides the highest level of security and trust through the latest blockchain technology, where encrypted transactions become public record. Additionally, as a partner organization, Science Cheerleaders has agreed to adhere to the “Crypto STEM Initiative 100% Guarantee”, whereby Science Cheerleaders will only use received STEMcoin funds for their intended mission — educator professional learning.

As an early adopter of STEMchain, Science Cheerleaders will immediately benefit from the STEMchain Matching Pool. The STEMchain Matching pool matches all donations 1:1 from a finite pool of 80 billion STEM Coins.
