MISSION: To make Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) learning engaging for all learners, particularly female and underrepresented students.
APPROACH: We use place-based learning strategies so that students see the relevance of STEM in their local communities and environments. We take educators and learners on "STEM walks" in different settings using videos and we also offer instructional guides to create your own STEM walks. We foster student engagement by sharing free resources for all educators who shape learning in K-12 students - both in and out of school.

About the Founder & CEO

She advises and collaborates with a broad range of educational institutions globally. Dr. Dhingra began her career teaching science in middle and high school in New York. She lives in Dallas, Texas with her husband, three children, and two dogs.
