LA STEM’s Origin Story

The LA STEM Collective grew out of efforts to expand out-of-school time (OST) opportunities for the children of Los Angeles. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, local STEM education organizations came together to provide remote learning opportunities for LA students. By that fall, with the world still in lockdown, more than two dozen organizations joined forces to provide science education during the school day and after school.

Critical thinking and problem solving are two skills that science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) help foster in students – from marine biology to computer science, the world of STEM is vast! Check out these four LA STEM Collective Members focused on sharing computer science with the Greater Los Angeles region.

🔹 9 Dots (@9dotscommunity)is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, committed to ensuring all students within underserved communities have the opportunity to engage in transformative computer science education. We believe young girls and students of color can be the next generation of tech leaders, and we want to equip them with the skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century.

🔹 The mission of the Snap Inc. Institute for Technology & Education (SITE) (@csudhsite) is to make high-quality, standard-aligned computer science (CS) an integral part of the educational experience of all preservice teachers and K-12 students in the Los Angeles area.

🔹 Genfinity Cyber Academy (@genfinitycyber) empowers the next generation of digital citizens through engaging, hands-on cybersecurity and coding education. Our mission is to make online safety, digital literacy, and cyber skills accessible to youth of all backgrounds. We prepare them to protect themselves, their communities, and their futures in a connected world.

🔹 STEAM Coders (@steamcoders) teach Logic, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving!

What is the second-largest open space within the city limits of Los Angeles?

🌱 Why, Ballona Wetlands of course!

Ecosystem Manager Madeline Stewart joined Carolyn and Xiomara from LA STEM member organization Friends of Ballona Wetlands (@ballonafriends) for a nature walk through the Ballona State Ecological Reserve’s saltwater marsh.

As lizards darted across the path, and a Great Egret and a Great Blue Heron picked their way through the marshland, we discussed the history of this land and current efforts to restore native species. Carolyn pointed out an area where fellow LA STEM member organization LA Conservation Corps (@lacorps) had removed invasive trees several years ago; now the area was lushly populated with native plants. We finished the walk with a stop at the Ballona Creek Trash Interceptor—what a sight!

🎉 5 years and counting!

At the end of August, LA STEM Collective celebrated 5 years of increasing access to STEM education in Los Angeles County.

What started as an idea has since grown into a vibrant network connecting educators, community-based organizations, universities, museums, industry partners, and more, united by one goal — to ensure that every student, regardless of zip code, has the opportunity to thrive in STEM.

At our celebration, we:
✅ Reflected on the last five years and the 200,000+ students served by the LA STEM Collective
✅ Heard powerful stories from students about the lifechanging power of STEM
✅ Got hands-on with displays from LA STEM Member organizations
✅ Looked toward the future and the next five years of growth and impact

Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported LA STEM over the last five years — here’s to building a future where STEM is for all. 🚀
