MOORESVILLE, NC — The Mooresville Library is working to peak student interest in STEM, which means Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, fields historically underrepresented by women and especially women of color.

The library at 304 South Main Street is teaming up with FUSE #12080, South Iredell High School's Robotics Team to offer the monthly program the first Saturday or each month at 11:30 a.m. The STEM magic happens in the Selma Burke Room.

The robotics team has worked with mentors from lauded STEM school Virginia Tech and want to work against gender stereotypes and encourage more women to participate.
