What We Do

Programs and Services: We offer support of a variety of programs and services designed to engage the community in STEM.

Community Engagement: We believe in the power of community and strive to promote volunteerism within. We promote by sponsoring local FIRST Lego Leagues, Women in STEM conferences, Cross-country Events, Hour of Code, STEMographies, RI Air National Guard events, and ROBO Con.

Advocacy and Awareness: While everything that we currently promote is great, we have so much more to do!

Our goals include the following…

  • Create and Support a Summer STEM camp for grades K - 5

  • Provide after school classes

  • Creation of FLL within the local elementary schools

  • STEM Literacy Workshops

  • Expansion of our Women in STEM conference

Why We Do What We DO

Non-profits in STEM education work to provide students, especially those from underserved communities, access to high quality science, technology, engineering, and math programs.

  • To Inspire Future Innovators -

    We aim to help spark curiosity and creativity in young learners. Non-profits often run hands-on workshops, robotics clubs, coding camps, and science fairs that encourage students to explore and innovate.

  • To address Workforce Gaps -

    Supporting STEM education helps prepare students for in-demand careers in technology, engineering, healthcare, and research. This strengthens the workforce and keeps communities competitive in a rapidly changing world.

  • To Promote Diversity and Inclusion -

    To increase participation among females, minorities, and other underrepresented groups.

  • To Build Critical Skills -

    STEM programs teach problem-solving, analytical thinking, teamwork, and digital literacy - skills essential for success in any field. These skills can support abilities through engaging, real-world projects.

  • To Foster Community Growth -

    When students gain STEM skills, they can contribute to local innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic development. Supporting STEM education non-profits help build stronger, more resilient communities.
