EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS!

The reality of the current STEM workforce reflects a dire need to diversify representation in future innovators. ISTC Education works with schools across Illinois to increase access for underrepresented groups in STEM. Ample funding enables schools to participate regardless of economic barriers and promotes the participation of diverse socioeconomic, racial, and ability backgrounds.

BECOME A MENTOR!

ISTC Education is always recruiting individuals to mentor high school students on independent research projects on the Mentor Matching Engine. Mentoring on MME is entirely virtual, which eliminates the transactional costs of traditional mentoring, creating a low and easy commitment for a meaningful impact. MME is a great way for professionals, undergraduates, and grad students to volunteer and give back to younger students – anytime, anywhere.
