OUR THEORY OF CHANGE
POSITIVE EXPERIENCES WITH STEM EDUCATION HELP YOUTH LEARN HOW
TO LEARN AND PREPARE THEM FOR THE NEEDS OF THE FOURTH
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION.

 OUTCOMES
        All youth feel empowered to use STEM to positively impact their
        communities. Student’s global awareness leads them to be
        empathetic, respectful, and responsive in their contributions.

        STEM learning is accessible to all, regardless of race, gender,
        ethnicity, geographic location, disability status, etc.

        STEM learning is an embedded part of youth’s K-12 educational
        experience, both in schools and in their communities.

        Digital tools and skills are utilized effectively to solve complex
        local and global issues.

        Teachers and families are empowered with the skills they need
        to support youth in adapting to the Fourth Industrial
        Revolution.

        Youth build the resilience, skills, and competencies
        necessary for success in the Fourth Industrial
        Revolution.

        All industries and sectors worldwide have a broad
        range of talent to choose from to support the
        needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and
        beyond.

        Students build an ethical
        framework that supports the
        responsible use of technology and
        its impact on the world around
        them.
