The STEM-L® program offers a unique opportunity to expand youth’s active interest in the STEM and legal career pipelines (e.g., forensics science investigator, cyber security detective, private practice attorney, criminal psychologist, ballistics expert, crime scene, medical examiner, etc.). We bring in STEM-Law experts to deliver a very rewarding hand-on experience coupled with an academic framework to familiarize our students to very attainable STEM-L careers.

We do this by introducing students to real-world legal issues and leveraging scientific research methods, critical thinking skills, and team-building activities. Students defend compelling arguments to a group of legal professionals. We reinforce fundamental academic skills, i.e., English and Mathematics SOL standards, to spring board participants interest in STEM-L, while sharing career opportunities possibly never explored, especially those in certain socio-economic groups.

The benefit of our program to the broader community is that we use proven problem-based learning approaches, grounded in academic theory, to spark interest in and influence STEM-L career path selection.

The most humbling part of what we do is prepare under-represented and under-privileged youth to self-advocate and increase their ability to self-advocate, especially in the legal environment. This is especially critical in our current environment as many youth do not know or understand their rights, are challenged in respecting authority figures, and desire to positively contribute to society.

Our Vision is to be the preferred academic program known for systematically increasing awareness, interest, and improving student understanding of STEM-Law (STEM-L) academic disciplines and careers (forensics investigator, law enforcement, attorneys, criminal psychologist, cyber-security analysts, etc.).

Our Mission is a to provide opportunities for leadership that result in achievement for young people. The STEM-L summer camp initiative is such an opportunity.

The STEM-Law modules offer opportunities to youth to understand their rights and ask questions associated with real issues facing youth and how they perceive law enforcement representatives.

Our team of leverages highly motivated educators, experienced legal professionals and proven hands-on, problem-based learning (PBL) approaches to deliver a very unique summer and after-school experience for school-age youth (5th-12th grade).

Our program leverages existing relationships with volunteers, teachers, academic leaders, community-based organizations and other STEM professionals. We have parterned with these resources to provide an uprecedented educational experience.

The STEM-Law programs provides an opportunity for youth, parents, schools and other strategic partners to proactively address socio-economic factors while at the same time deliberately bridging the gap of qualified and motivated youth who are prepared to pursue STEM careers, specifically in the legal industry.

We reinforce fundamental academic skills, i.e., English and Mathematics Standard of Learning (SOL) standards to spring board participants interest in STEM-L while sharing career opportunities once never explored by those in certain socio-economic groups.

Talent and career development is quite possibly the most effective vehicle for bridging the gap in STEM career opportunities and qualified workforce.

As a 501(c)3 not for profit organization, we welcome sponsorship and scholarships for program participants. Sponsors can leverage potential tax savings that a charitable tax deduction offers.

Our leadership team is committed to supporting youth’s academic opportunities and increasing their ability to self-advocate, especially those who are under-represented and underprivileged youth.

The legal industry is a time-cherished community of professionals and an environment full of numerous STEM careers. Our STEM-Law initiative introduces job and career opportunities in what was once, for the most part, unchartered waters for many very smart kids, and especially for those who are minorities.

The STEM Squad is the youth activities and program component of our organization.

The STEM-Squad is a kids-ONLY page for kids who love Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and want to use it to improve the world we live in.

The STEM Squad looks at the problems in our society and use their “smarts” to solve those problems.

STEM Squad also offers birthday and party events for kids. Kids participate in interactive party activities, learn about STEM.
