Growing STEM
Leaders
Raising awareness, building skills & connecting problem-solvers across communities
We grow STEM leaders – youth, educators, families and STEM champions – on a national scale.
We address the calls from informal educators to provide more data-driven training, elevate youth voices to inspire young people across the country and give leaders the tools to better serve families, communities and the systems contributing to a child’s success.
Let’s invest in growing the potential of youth, educators and champions to do good– and more of it.
Let’s amplify diverse voices, perspectives and stories that unite everyone behind the power and potential of STEM.
Let’s create structured, intentional experiences to meet people where they are, providing training and development to create and sustain the sea change needed in STEM.
