In Baltimore City, too many students lack consistent access to STEM education, especially in under-resourced schools. This often leads to missed opportunities in developing STEM skills and confidence, further widening the equity gap and limiting future career paths.
Baltimore STEM Champions exists to change that. We connect Baltimore youth with hands-on STEM experiences through programs like Science Olympiad, mentorship, and school-based workshops. Our mission is to empower students from historically excluded communities by building long-term pathways into science, engineering, and technology, starting early and continuing through high school and beyond.
