Co-Founder's Message!

When we first started thinking about STEMWorks Youth, it began with something a lot smaller than a mission statement: it started with a simple conversation about opportunity.

We both go to Bronx Science, and the longer we were there, the more we noticed something. Between the clubs, research programs, alumni network, and teachers pointing us toward competitions and internships, we had access to more than we ever realized.

That got us thinking about how many capable students never get handed those same keys. We want to build and donate hands-on STEM kits to middle school programs across NYC, and give high school students access to research guidance, mentorship, and high-level resources.

We are raising funds, doing weekly STEM workshops, and connecting with mentors to pass along what was given to us. Access to real opportunity should never depend on what high school you walk into every morning or what your family can afford.
