Diversity in STEM Outreach Project

The Diversity in STEM Outreach Project promotes an opportunity through early intervention & exposure for students in underrepresented communities (grades k-12) to pursue STEM subjects in order to develop and prepare for 21st-century leaders in innovation. STEM helps students with critical thinking skills, analytical skills, and innovation, which are all important skills needed for economic and workforce sustainability. To ensure the presence of the underrepresented inner-city population, we seek partnerships from the community and corporations who share the vision to increase diversity in the special interest fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. The primary purpose is to impact the lives of students and teachers by bridging the gap in the areas of STEM readiness for this population in Atlanta and metro-surrounding communities.
