How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Culturally Integrated STEAM Education
    methodology: inclusive-stem-education
    By integrating art and cultural empowerment into STEM (creating STEAM), we increase access and engagement for underrepresented communities because culturally relevant curricula validate identity and deepen connection to learning.
  • Experiential Learning for STEM Engagement
    methodology: experiential-learning
    By using hands-on, immersive workshops to teach STEM concepts, we increase student engagement and understanding because experiential learning makes abstract ideas tangible and relevant.
  • Loose Parts Play for Liberation and Equity
    methodology: loose_parts_play
    By using open-ended materials and unstructured play (Loose Parts), we foster creativity, critical thinking, and equity in education because this approach centers student agency and challenges rigid, hierarchical learning models.
  • Self-Discovery and Digital Access as Pathways to STEM Success
    methodology: self-discovery for STEM engagement
    By combining self-discovery through media platforms like 'Pivot with Purpose' with virtual mentorship and e-learning, we build long-term STEM career readiness because sustained access to resources and personal development fosters identity formation and persistence in underrepresented students.
  • Targeted Educational Equity for Women and Minorities
    methodology: targeted-education
    By focusing STEM education efforts on women and minorities, we address systemic inequities in access because targeted support counters exclusionary patterns in science and technology fields.
