What makes Stemming Ideas different is that we have a unique range of expertise that can be utilized to reach youth. Our board has 3 Computer Science professors, one licensed High School teacher, a software engineering company co-founder, and an experienced nonprofit administrator. We are all passionate about our values of diversity, inclusion, cooperation, critical thinking, problem solving, and teamwork. We welcome everyone regardless of their ethnic background, religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, economic background, etc. We want to be the place where people learn how to work together, and learn to appreciate our differences. We believe we can impact the future through making STEM content more accessible and interesting to diverse youth. 

We are also unique in that our model also wants to serve represented groups alongside the underrepresented populations. This way those who are traditionally represented in the field will grow up alongside diverse peers and see from the very beginning that there is room for everyone to belong in STEM fields. All too often we see programs that silo just boys, girls, etc. This is a place where everyone belongs!
