Our Main Message
The STEM field is missing out on talent due to lack of diversity. This lack of diversity stems from a lack of inclusion that Learning From Scratch is combatting by offering free STEM education. STEM is a pipeline for future scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. Furthermore, bringing it to youth will make our future more prosperous. Empowering underrepresented groups to pursue STEM interests is less a matter of repairing a “leaky pipeline” than of building pathways for meaningful participation. Changing the metaphor from a pipeline to pathway transforms the purpose of the educational effort: rather than an endeavor in which students’ experiences support STEM academic and workforce outcomes, STEM experiences are put to work in the service of youth development.
Next Steps…
Being partnered with more schools and involving girls, underrepresented minorities, and low-income students is a goal of ours because the STEM field is not reaching its full potential due to lack of inclusion of people from all backgrounds. Join Us
