What is BOOSTEM?
BOOSTEM is a collaboration among the Asian Heritage Society, the U.S. Navy, Alliant International University, Cal State San Marcos and other academic and business partners to inspire and encourage underserved female middle school students of Asian and Hispanic descent to combine the innovative skills of an entrepreneur with an appreciation of science and technology. The purpose of the program, supported by San Diego Gas and Electric Company, Time Warner Cable and the community relations department of Barona Resort and Casino, is to prepare young girls for future careers in the rapidly changing technological and global landscape as innovators in science and research and as corporate leaders.
