Our Mission
We are STEM Up, a student-led non-profit organization based in Toronto, Ontario, dedicated to addressing the gender gap in STEM by empowering students with greater access to STEM-related extracurriculars, resources, and mentorship. Recognizing the disparities in opportunities available to young learners, particularly girls, we aim to create inclusive environments where all students can explore their interests in STEM. By offering hands-on workshops, after-school programs, and community partnerships, we hope to inspire the next generation of innovators and leaders to thrive in STEM fields. Our mission is to break barriers and foster a passion for STEM from a young age.
