STEM Education
Propelling the Next Generation of Leaders
STEM Education
We drive hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, and math to develop the next generation of change-makers and thought leaders in healthcare and social responsibility. Our goal is to provide STEM learning opportunities to 15,000 students in 5 years, from elementary school through high school and higher education.
Promoting Students
Hardware Donations
We use all our resources to give students access to the technology they need to be successful. This includes donating our end-of-use hardware to students in need.
Coding & Mentoring
Giving students access to education about careers in STEM helps diversify the future of our workforce. Our employees work closely with students throughout the year to mentor and participate in coding initiatives.
Founders Scholarship
Offered in the USA and UK, this scholarship honors Medidata’s two co-founders, Glen de Vries and Tarek Sherif, who have led the company together for over twenty years. To lift up the next generation of leaders, disruptors, innovators, and changemakers, this award is presented in their honor to two students dedicated to helping the world find smarter treatments for more patients more quickly.
Empowering Teachers
Stem Educators Program – Teachers help students access the knowledge they need to enter careers in STEM. We partner with the NY Academy of Science to provide teachers with a free development course in the communities where we have offices.
