Welcome

Bright STEM futures
are powered here!

Mission

We close the STEM exposure gap and improve the futures of Black and Brown youth through mentorship and hands-on culturally affirming programming that fosters their STEM identities and empowers them to address real-world challenges with their imagination.

Vision

We envision a future where the next generation of STEM leaders are empowered to think critically, dream boldly, and actively shape the world they want to inhabit. Not only excelling in STEM but leveraging it to dismantle systemic barriers, fostering a more equitable future as changemakers.

Why We Exist

Diversity in STEM

STEM fields lack diversity, limiting innovation and problem-solving. We need more Black and Brown voices to address global challenges effectively.

STEM Talent Gap

There's a critical shortage of STEM workers, especially those from Black and Brown communities. These individuals have the potential to drive innovation and economic growth, but lack of access to quality STEM education is hindering their success.

Creating Belonging

We aim to build a supportive community where Black and Brown youth feel empowered to pursue STEM careers without compromising their identity.

Our Approach

 

We offer in-school, after-school, and summer STEM labs in the form of 5 tracks led by college students and STEM professionals. Our labs demystify who belongs in STEM and where STEM can take place while providing STEM exposure.
