HANDS-ON LEARNING

As early as third grade, many underserved students start believing math and science aren’t for them, setting them on a path of disengagement.

STEM Connect 4/5 changes this by sparking interest in math and science for 4th and 5th graders.

How it works

The program pairs a company with a local school that serves a high number of historically underserved students. In4All coordinates the partnership, develops activities, trains volunteers, and evaluates outcomes.

Business volunteers lead hands-on activities showing how math and science are used in their jobs. These sessions, held four times a year, help students see new possibilities in STEM.

The impact

93% of teachers report that In4All helped increase their students’ interest in STEM.
