STEM Slam
The STEM Slam is an annual night of spoken-word performers from different sectors of Cambridge, hands-on engagements, food, and fellowship held by The MIRROR.
The end result is a mashup of an HBCU homecoming and a tech company hack-a-thon.
Please join us for STEM Slam 2024!
A night of creativity, connection, and community.
Storytellers, performers, hands-on activity hosts, and people of all ageswill gather to celebrate their diverse identities and journeys. You don't need to have an existing connection to STEM to participate and have some fun.
Food • Music • Spoken Word • Collective Art Making!
STEM Slam Public Preview
The MIRROR presented the pilot of a STEM Slam: a family-friendly event around a slate of spoken-word presenters from different sectors of Cambridge that showcased audio, visual, and hands-on engagements for audience members to enjoy. This pilot was an effort to demonstrate how convening communities and resources can elevate Cambridge as a national model for STEM, college and career success among residents from all backgrounds.
The successful prototype of the event was held at the Cambridge Foundry in April of 2023. 100 guests heard from 10 performers, got their hands on circuits and drones, and enjoyed delicious food from Everybody Gotta Eat.
