About STEM+SEL
Project Corporation
The STEM+SEL Project is an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization formed for the charitable and educational purposes of aiding and empowering low- and moderate-income students in NYC.
We provide students with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) classes, as well as social-emotional learning (SEL).
Our goal is to ignite a passion for STEM in young minds and inspire them to pursue advanced studies and careers in STEM fields.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Every Child Deserves a STEM Opportunity
Our modern economy requires STEM knowledge, digital literacy, AI competency, critical thinking, and collaboration. Yet students in high-poverty and underserved communities often lack access to essential STEM resources.
STEM+SEL works to help level the playing field for students in New York City.
STEM Gap
Students in underserved communities often lack access to STEM programs, leaving them at a disadvantage in the rapidly growing STEM workforce.
