STEM Ignited is on a mission to bridge this gap by preparing young people for career opportunities in STEM. Our ultimate goal is to build one million Female Entrepreneurs in STEM by 2033.
STEM has driven tremendous economic growth in the last 10 years and revolutionized every aspect of our lives. When we think about virtually everything we use - from a Smartphone to the electronic toothbrush - we see science at our fingertips. The recent pandemic has vastly accelerated the skills required to achieve agility in the future of work.
STEM Ignited aims to deliver Digital Transformation, Climate Awareness, and Economic Empowerment to young people in schools and business centers located in remote parts of South Africa through educational entrepreneurial workshops, and engaging career opportunity campaigns focused on honing and building the talents and skills of future female leaders in STEM entrepreneurship.
We Ignite STEM opportunities for Youth in disadvantaged communities through Incubation, Skills Development, and Market Access.
