Welcome to EduSTEM 
EduSTEM is an international
​youth-led organization ​increasing diversity in STEM through exposing youth of different underrepresented backgrounds to STEM careers and opportunities through original and unique STEMX curriculum. 
In 2017, EduSTEM began in the Greater Seattle Area by partnering with community outreach organization Jubilee Reach. Since then, the initiative has spread to chapters worldwide, reaching students through summer camps, events for girls, and weekly workshops. As of October 2018, EduSTEM's cause has reached ​500+ individuals and counting. ​

500+ youths reached through workshops, camps, volunteering, and partnership initiatives
 70+ workshops, classes, camps, and sessions for underrepresented minorities by the end of 2018
9+ chapters in Washington, Thailand, Istanbul, Connecticut, New York, Boston, Virginia, and California, run by our youth regional leaders
12+ partners on local, national, and international levels, all working towards the same goal of diversifying STEM fields

Why does STEM matter?

Why does diversity matter?
STEM is a rapidly growing field. Currently, 15 of the 20 fastest growing careers require some sort of STEM background. 80% of jobs in the next decade will require technology skills. A STEM background is fundamental for our future, regardless of the career.
​
​In today's work force, there are more STEM jobs than qualified applicants. The United States will need 1 million more qualified STEM workers than available throughout the next decade to meet its historical precedent of progress in science and technology. With youth harnessing innovative and novel ideas in the scientific world, STEM opportunities are a gateway to creating a better future for everyone. 
According to Wired Magazine, 84% of working professionals in science and engineering in 2015 were white and Asian males.

Diversity matters.  We aren't just overlooking a diverse talent pool of current minorities, but we are reducing society's capabilities to innovate. According to a University of Maryland and Columbia Business School joint study, gender diversity at the management level resulted in a $42 million increase in the value of S&P 500 firms. 
​
Radical, innovative, and inclusive ideas come with diversity, making it critical to improving STEM fields. Everyone deserves a opportunity to pursue passion in an inclusive environment, and EduSTEM seeks to provide that environment for every child.
