STEM for Others - Mission
Our education system is at a crossroads where it is not preparing our students to be competitive at the global level. The issue is more pronounced for socio-economically disadvantaged families as the disparity in STEM education widens as they face substantial hurdles in accessing quality learning opportunities. We believe that advancement in STEM is the greatest equalizer that creates the greatest opportunities for upward mobility. Our mission is to make a concerted effort to provide deeper and more targeted programs that focus on equitable access to STEM education.
