Bringing high-quality STEM learning to millions of young people and closing the gender gap in STEM careers

Their mission: Building inclusion and opportunity for millions of young people and closing the gender gap in STEM careers.

STEM learning is key to breaking the generational cycle of poverty and to reducing income inequality. It greatly enhances educational opportunity and has been particularly effective at advancing children of color and girls. All children, regardless of zip code, race, ethnicity, national origin or gender have a basic right to the opportunity to prepare for the knowledge-based economy.

STEM Next Opportunity Fund is a national leader in increasing opportunities for STEM learning in and out-of-school in communities across the country, linking and electrifying powerful charging stations so that young people can power up to take an active role in their learning.
