STEM Pioneers is led by university engineering faculty and supported by dedicated volunteers, educators and board members who share a commitment to opening doors to STEM for every student. Our founder, Dr. Jafar F. Al-Sharab, is a university professor, former engineering department head, Fulbright U.S. Scholar and IEEE Senior Member.
STEM Pioneers grew out of hands-on STEM programs our founder began offering to local students in 2015. In 2020 we incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and became an official NASA partner. Since then we have run robotics camps, NASA STEM Days and year-long programs with universities, public libraries and community organizations — free for students.
To promote STEM education and relevant career pathways for a diverse and inclusive community.
Your gift keeps every program free for students. Donations buy robotics kits and science materials and support summer camps and NASA STEM Day. STEM Pioneers is a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 86-1410185); donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
