Dear Future Partner, In 2016 I set out on a mission to make STEM education accessible for students across the globe. Beginning with just a handful of students in our first program, to no having reached more than 40,000+ students, I’m proud to be witnessing this mission become a reality. Through the work of our team at STEM Minds, students ages 4-18 across North America are receiving hands-on, state-of-the-art STEM experiences from an expert team of licensed educators and STEM professionals. Our signature on-demand course platform, STEAM Hub, seamlessly integrates STEM education with the Arts, making it engaging for students of all skill levels. What’s more, the virtual nature of this platform has expanded our international reach and furthered our mission to create a global impact. Like all great missions, this work cannot be done without a team of like-minded partners. From content partnerships to sponsorship, we are excited to be partnering with impact- driven brands committed to empowering the next generation of leaders. In this document, you’ll learn more about STEM Minds and what we are building. I’d love to invite you to partner with us on this journey. Together, let’s create future-ready kids. Yours in education, Anu Bidani STEM Minds Founder & CEO
WHY EDUCATION? We’re on a mission to build future-ready kids. SCIENCE . TECHNOLOGY . ENGINEERING . MATH. Recent reports by the World Economic Forum stated the jobs of tomorrow will rely heavily on a good grasp of STEM subjects, including Science, Technology, Education, and Math. Now more than ever, our children need to become self-directed, life-long learners. And that means we need to alter how we teach and what we teach to unlock their full potential. Did You Know? Up to 65% of children entering school today will have a job that does not yet exist. Technology design and programming have been cited as two key skills children will need to develop healthy relationships with technology, understand how to manage digital risk and become more responsible consumers of technology. COVID-19 has forced more than 1 billion students and youth out of school, triggering the world’s biggest educational technology (edtech) implementation in history. *Source: World Economic Forum TECHNOLOGIES LIKELY TO BE ADOPTED BY 2025 (BY SHARE OF COMPANIES SURVEYED)

FEATURES The word is spreading about the world-class programming STEM Minds is providing to students across the globe. We are proud to be at the forefront of STEM education and continue to measure our success by the impact we make on every student's learning journey. Absolutely thrilled with the engagement of my class during the STEM Minds session. The students were dialed in from the first minute and followed along through initial simple instructions to extend their understanding of coding with growing independence. The instructors were energetic and knowledgeable, and the students really enjoyed working with them. An absolute homerun for cooperative learning, student engagement, and exposure to STEM opportunities.
