WHAT IS FLIPS?

FLIPS is a non-profit organization dedicated to furthering STEM education and leadership opportunities across the country. We walk high schoolers through the process of creating their own STEM day/summer camps.

WHY FLIPS?

THE PROBLEM

In our fast-paced world, STEM (Science. Technology, Engineering, and Math) occupations are needed more than ever. Since 1990, employment in STEM occupations has grown 79%, with numbers only rising. Despite its importance, many communities lack adequate access to STEM resources. In 2019, women comprised only 27% of the STEM workforce, and 2 out of 3 women said they were not encouraged to pursue STEM careers. In 2021, Black and Hispanic workers comprised 8% and 15% of the STEM workforce, despite being 11% and 18% of the total American workforce, respectively.

SO WHAT?

FLIPS establishes self-sufficient STEM programs in schools across the country. Our camps provide opportunities for students from underrepresented backgrounds to explore STEM industries.

How you define an underrepresented group is up to you! We recognize each community has different populations with varying needs. In any case, FLIPS will guide you as you make a tangible impact. Join us as we flip STEM education!

BUILD STUDENT LEADERS

FLIPS camps are entirely student led. From lesson planning to behavior management, our partners learn valuable leadership skills that will carry them beyond high school. In FLIPS camps, all students grow as change-makers in their communities.

MAKE AN IMPACT

We recognize that different communities have different needs. FLIPS offers flexible programs unique to each region, giving student leaders opportunities to develop professionally. How you organize your camp is up to you- we simply guide you!

INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING

At FLIPS, our method of learning is entirely hands-on. From the engineering design process to research methods, our campers learn about the foundational principles driving various STEM industries.

JOIN A NETWORK

FLIPS is a national network of high school student leaders dedicated to furthering STEM education. Together, we can bridge gaps towards a brighter future, one camp at a time.
