Description

• In next 5-10 years, about half a million jobs in Arizona will need STEM background. Based on STEM report cards*, a lot of children do not have exposure to STEM fields & careers. Early exposure to STEM fields and hands on STEM education enables a strong pipeline for STEM careers.
• Education Empowers Inc. serves as a platform for promoting STEM education opportunities. We partner with local nonprofits (YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs, dignity kids, Gila River Native Community & other nonprofits), local schools and community based organizations and promote after-school STEM-Robotics clubs, summer robotics camps and STEM-Robotics day events.
