Very STEM Very Swag (VSVS) is a bracelet, a saying, and a movement centered around rebranding STEM. Frustrated by the negative perception of STEM, I wanted to create a bracelet that exemplifies the version of STEM I want to see portrayed in classrooms, the media, and everywhere in between. I want people to know that there's tons of incredibly dope people in STEM doing incredibly dope things, and that there's room for everyone in this space. I hope that by wearing a VSVS bracelet, people feel empowered and inspired to keep advocating for a more inclusive STEM environment for everyone. To purchase a VSVS bracelet goodie bag, go check out @wearevsvs on Instagram!
I literally do not know where I would be today without Kode With Klossy. I planned on being an astrophysicist since I was 8 years old and then Kode With Klossy came around and turned my whole "thing" into inclusive computer science education. Applying to KWK was one of the best decisions of my life. Also I have 100 digits of Pi memorized for no reason.

I'm a rising sophomore at Barnard and am determined to get as many Kode With Klossy alum to apply. Please DM me on the gram @izzylapidus if you want to chat about Barnard! Always happy to offer my insight #boldbeautifulbarnard #boldbeautifulgirlboss ❤️🔥
