Executive Director
About Me
Email: Jamecca@LASTEMCollective.org

Jamecca Marshall has spent her career working to uplift and support communities through education and policy. She is passionate about collaborations, and believes that collectives can make a true difference in communities. As LA STEM’s first Executive Director, Jamecca is focused on amplifying STEM education for youth across Greater Los Angeles, through collaboration and partnership.

Most recently, Jamecca worked as the Deputy Executive Director of Bridge Builders Foundation, supporting programs in youth mentorship and STEM, and with the Los Angeles Urban League as Vice President of Programs. She has led initiatives in program development, implementation, and evaluation, including programming in Educational STEM, Youth Entrepreneurship, College Readiness, and Mentoring.

Previously, she led national Education Reform efforts on Capitol Hill with the Alliance for Excellent Education. Her work encompasses strategic policy, development, program evaluation, research, strategic planning, multi-sector stakeholder collaboration, and organizational development. While Jamecca honed much of her practical expertise in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., she has led technical assistance efforts for state-wide and national initiatives – training practitioners and education reform advocates. Jamecca received her AB from Stanford University and holds a Master of Public Policy and Master of History, both from The George Washington University.
City of STEM, one week later: still not over it.

We spent the day trying to say hello to as many LA STEM Collective members as possible — and everywhere we turned, there was another amazing organization sparking curiosity, building community, and making STEM come alive.

More than 20,000 people joined in the fun, and our members showed exactly what makes LA’s STEM ecosystem so powerful: collaboration, creativity, and a whole lot of heart.

Drop a shout out for an LA STEM member you saw at City of STEM!

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" – Martin Luther King Jr.

Our LA STEM Collective members commit each day to sharing the joys and opportunities of science, tech, engineering and math education to students. Today as we remember Martin Luther King Jr., we should each ask ourselves - how are we servicing a greater good: in our families, in our communities, and for our world.

The LA STEM Collective is a growing network of 150 organizations dedicated to serving the greater good by sharing STEM learning opportunities with students and learners of all ages around Los Angeles County. 

How are you spending your Martin Luther King Day? Let us know in the comments ⬇️

📚Quotes from the Classroom 📚

Expanded learning and afterschool programming offer opportunities for students to explore their interests, see role models, and practice what they’ve learned in the classroom. This Spring, LA STEM brought hands-on STEM programs to 46 afterschool programs at LAUSD schools this spring.

Afterwards, we asked the afterschool educators to share an “a-HA” moment that their students had during their programs. Here’s what they said:

📐 “I recall a student [who] was a special ed student. Although the activity was challenging, he tried and was able to participate. This was a rewarding experience for all involved.” 📐

The LA STEM Collective brings challenging and rewarding hands-on STEM activities to schools around LA County. Learn more at www.LASTEMCollective.org
