Creating a Culture. How does the physical atmosphere of the RIDER Center communicate a culture of STEM to Stakeholders?

Abstract

The importance of STEM has consistently been on the rise throughout recent history and becomes more apparent each day. It seems that every day there is a new game-changing invention that helps to make our lives easier and more efficient, helping to save time and energy. This is why it has become more important than ever before that STEM is being communicated effectively to stakeholders who are so important in the development of new inventions. This study aims to focus on how STEM can be effectively communicated to shareholders, specifically through the physical atmosphere of the RIDER Center and the immense diversity of the group to create a culture. The study uses the RIDER center's already established spaces along with its diverse team member to promote a culture that centers around STEM, making it easier to communicate the idea of development over time to investors. Developing an interior that incorporates the cultural diversity within the RIDER Center will help to create a positive environment that should have a beneficial influence on productivity. Additionally, an inviting and inclusive environment should make it easier to communicate the idea of STEM to prospective stakeholders.
