At Jacobs, STEAM and sustainability are at the heart of our business and we are united in developing and delivering a global STEAM education and engagement program that demonstrates our commitment to equality, inclusion and diversity.
To us, STEAM encompasses our core values and aligns with TogetherBeyond and Jacobs’ Action Plan for Advancing Justice and Equality, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, our Jacobs Employee Networks and our Collectively strategic causes.
Jacobs has chosen to use “STEAM” rather than “STEM” for several reasons:
- STEAM highlights a broader and more inclusive range of interests and topics in addition to science, technology, engineering and math.
- It provides a greater opportunity for our employees to see themselves in STEAM.
Our approach to STEAM streamlines and amplifies the social value that we create in the communities where we live and work – this means that we share our STEAM resources with anyone who wants or needs them.
By uniting and growing our global STEAM efforts to create an inclusive STEAM education and engagement program we hope to engage employees and students around the world. And our STEAM program will help Jacobs identify and secure a diverse talent pipeline for the future.
The Butterfly Effect
The Butterfly Effect and Earn Your Wings: Take Flight with the Butterfly Effect are designed to provide young people with the knowledge and understanding they need to put sustainability at the heart of everything they do. The Butterfly Effect program is aimed at 5 to 11-year-olds while the Earn Your Wings: Take Flight with the Butterfly Effect program continues the learning from younger ages into teenagers, aged 11 to 18 years.
