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.

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.
