Although there are existing free out-of-school STEM programs, low-SES students often face significant barriers to benifit from these resources, such as financial concerns, information barriers, and lack of STEM identity. Instead of reinventing these educational programs, we are creating a service that coonnects the out-of-school education ecosystem and bring existing resources to local communities to create a long-term impact on student's academic and professional career.
