STEM Education and Opportunity for All

STEM skills are in high demand in today’s rapidly changing world. These skills are –and will continue to be– the tools necessary to address the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, many students from minority and low-income communities have been underserved in STEM education and underrepresented in STEM careers.

STEM NOLA is committed to eliminating this disparity by expanding high-quality STEM education and opportunities to all students, regardless of their race, socioeconomic status or zip code. We offer an array of cost-free programs for students designed to build interest and knowledge in STEM at all ages and experience levels to develop a diverse STEM-literate workforce.
