Our Mission

STEM Compass, Inc. is a non-profit organization (501c3) that was established in 2014 in Atlanta, Georgia. The mission of STEM Compass, Inc. is to navigate, motivate, and educate underrepresented groups towards STEM careers and entrepreneurship.

The Need For STEM Education

Each year, several thousands of STEM jobs go unfilled because the available workforce is untrained and ill-prepared to fill them. We hope to correct this problem through the following opportunities:

Opportunity #1

Underrepresented Groups

Underrepresented groups. These groups are an untapped talent pool waiting to be nurtured and developed in order to address the need of unfilled STEM careers.

Opportunity #2

Nurturing Students Interest

Nurturing student’s interest in STEM. Many students actually have a high interest in STEM, unfortunately, this interest and curiosity is not nurtured in the home or in school and goes by the wayside.

The Problems We Solve

Increasing the level of interest for underrepresented groups k-12

Increasing tech skills

Increasing efficacy and persistence for underrepresented groups in STEM

Increase collage readiness of underrepresented groups

Implementation Plan

Long Term – Cohort:

  • During the school year, we will hold 3-4 sessions each month for 6th graders where they will work with STEM Kits, Visioneering Sessions, and Virtual STEM Career sessions.
  • We will provide tutoring in Math, Science and Reading and hold a specially designed Summer STEM Academy that will include areas of Computer Science, Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Artificial Intelligence and Environmental Science.
  • We plan to continue to work with them through the 12th grade

Short Term – Monthly STEM:

Super Saturday Sessions – These students range from k-12th grade depending on the focus. The goal is to:

  • Reach 100 students during each monthly STEM Super Saturday Session
  • Increase their STEM skill levels by 20%
  • Increase their Social Emotional Learning, College Readiness and Career Awareness by 20%.
  • Engage 30-40 young people per grade groups of k-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
