Funding STEM education…
Empowering the Next Generation.
Our Work
We provide grants for k-12 STEM education programs in low-income communities.
We also award scholarships for graduating high school seniors pursuing higher education in a STEM field.
Our Mission
Our mission is to increase access to
STEM education.
We believe that STEM education has unbounded potential to carve out pathways towards economic prosperity for under-represented communities.
It all started with a high school science teacher and his passion for making an impact in kids’ lives.
Jay Robnett was a science teacher at Hueneme Public High School in Oxnard, CA for over 30 years. His work demonstrated his commitment to improving access to STEM education.
