WHY STEM?
By 2030, over 11 million STEM jobs are projected to be available and necessary to be filled. These jobs provide a sustainable career with high earning potential. STEM is the key to innovation and job creation in the United States. Over 85% of startups (Google, Yahoo, eBay, Nvidia, etc.) are created by entrepreneurs with a strong STEM foundation. From successful executives who went to top engineering schools to college drop-outs who became successful tech entrepreneurs, there is a recurring theme. They attribute applied STEM skills as a key factor to their successes.

OUR TUTORS
Our instructors and tutors are a diverse group of well-trained teaching professionals with a strong technology background. Some of our instructors have a Bachelor's and/or Master's degree with over 3 years of experience as an applications expert (programmer, IT, engineering, math, physics, etc.). We complete background checks on all of our employees and put them through an extensive and rigorous training program to be effective STEM instructors.
In addition to staffing after school classes with highly qualified teachers, we can also staff instructors as part of your school's core technology curricula.
Some of our teachers are also available for one-on-one and smaller group tutoring sessions. Additionally, we have tutors who are fluent in Spanish and Mandarin. There are numerous local and national robotics/coding competitions where volunteer mentors may not be sufficient for your teams. We can help connect teams to volunteers and offer skilled STEM tutors as mentors and coaches to those aspiring to compete in those competitions. For example in New York City, we have worked with teams who participated in the FIRST Lego League and Robotics competitions.
