Throughout history, STEM has made significant advancements, constantly challenging the threshold of previous limitations while educating future scientists to continue on this path. A common perception is that primarily white males have been responsible for the majority, if not the entirety, of the advancements in STEM. To correct this inaccuracy through an engaging mechanism, TCU Chemistry Club has initiated the “TCU Jeopardy Game Night.” This is a program where students, staff, and organizations in STEM are exposed to and educated on the historical accomplishments achieved by diverse groups underrepresented in STEM. The different accomplishments range from that of an entire identified group or an individual person in different areas of STEM, with an emphasis on chemistry. These diverse groups include, but are not limited to: sex, race, color, religion, creed, age, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status. In the spring term the organization hosted a game night with trivia questions and prizes over the material presented up to that date. This material served as an incentive toward the ultimate goal of educating our campus population regarding diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect for scientists who have not been popularly acknowledged for their exceptional work. Examples of materials produced, strategies for communication, as well as game night details will be presented.<br/> <br/>TCU Chemistry Club has created this initiative to promote the education and acknowledgement of underrepresented groups in science and is aiming to change the narrative and perceptions of a scientist.
