Exploring Brain-Computer Interfaces to Bring Diverse Brains to STEM The demand for STEM-literate workers is growing rapidly as fields like artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and robotics become central to the economy and society. With these shifts comes a pressing question: Who will step into these roles and shape the future of technology? Neurodivergent students are underrepresented in STEM, yet many of these students bring strengths that are needed for emerging STEM fields, including creativity, systems thinking, and strong pattern recognition. Traditional learning environments don’t always fully recognize or support their abilities, leaving students feeling excluded or unseen.
