Scientists Like Me
Scientists Like Me® spotlights Autistic, Neurodiverse, and Disabled people working in STEM.
This event is family-friendly and is included with General Admission.
Representation is critical to expanding our vision of who can study, excel at, or have a career in STEM. Diverse representation also helps to demystify and destigmatize under-represented populations working in STEM fields. This program will highlight STEM professionals who may not fit the traditional expectation of what a scientist looks, thinks, moves, speaks, or acts like. Carnegie Science Center believes that an individual’s unique traits bring valuable and varied perspectives to STEM fields, and we are committed to showing diverse representation among scientists and STEM professionals who are just like YOU…or ME!
Scientists Like Me® brings local STEM professionals who self-identify as part of the Disabled, Neurodiverse, or Autistic populations on-site. Through one-on-one conversations with our presenters, visitors can learn about their experiences in their fields and the exciting contributions being made by Autistic and disabled scientists.
This event will feature live demonstrations and shows by various Science Center departments, adjusted for a sensory-sensitive audience. Our quiet room will be made available throughout the event, for anyone who would benefit from a break in a low-stimulus environment.
