EmpowerSTEM encourages curiosity, innovation, and problem-solving by engaging students in hands-on STEM activities and challenges year-round. Our mission is to ignite a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, inspiring the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
We provide resources, mentorship, and collaborative opportunities for students in middle and elementary school ensuring that every participant feels empowered to achieve their full potential and drive meaningful change in the world.
The value of STEM education is universally recognized, and fortunately, more students gain access to STEM-focused learning opportunities in schools every year. However, these experiences often stop at the classroom door. Many young people don’t envision themselves as future innovators or engineers and rarely engage with STEM actively outside of school.
But STEM is so much more than just science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It fosters creativity, critical thinking, resilience, and collaboration—skills that are invaluable no matter the career path a student chooses to follow.
At EmpowerSTEM, we’re changing the narrative by connecting students to STEM in a way that feels approachable and engaging. Our program is built on peer-to-peer outreach: students inspiring and teaching other students. By removing the traditional barriers of adult-led instruction, we create a fun, supportive environment where participants can see themselves as problem-solvers and innovators, sparking a lifelong interest in STEM.
