Inspiring Students Through STEM Programs

What STEM means to us

For TechPoint Foundation for Youth, experiential STEM opportunities are those programs that provide students with hands-on learning focused on:

  • Primarily: the core disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics, and

  • Secondarily: the important skills crucial to success in the 21st-century workplace such as creativity, critical thinking, communication, and

    collaboration.

Who we serve

Our priority population is composed of Indiana students who are underrepresented in the STEM career pipeline, including students from resource-limited families, female students, and students of color. This population lacks access to STEM learning opportunities and, as adults, are less likely to pursue STEM-related careers.

By engaging these students early in STEM learning opportunities, we inspire them to gain the education and training required for good 21st century jobs and we support Indiana businesses’ ability to find qualified, diverse employees.

 
 

When resources are available, we will secondarily reach populations that have no or few high-quality STEM opportunities.

Strategic Plan

We are a unique resource strategically positioned to bring the right partners together, around the right programs, to benefit Indiana students.

In 2022, we completed our 5 year strategic to set objectives and priorities to ensure that our efforts and resources are most effectively directed at achieving our mission and support Indiana students move through the STEM Success Pathway.

 
 

Strategic Planning Priorities

Our 5-year strategic plan outlines the following goals to increase investments in our future generation of technology leaders:

  • Student Impact - Engage and inspire students in our priority populations by increasing and broadening our

    experiential programming which results in science, technology, engineering and math career

    awareness, access and opportunities.

  • STEM Champions - Grow our partnership network of educators, STEM professionals, and STEM focused

    nonprofits to be the community leader in multiplying STEM learning opportunities

    regardless of who delivers them.

  • Resource Engagement, Sustainability, and Growth - Enable increased focus and investment in programs and mission-focus initiatives by

    strengthening our human and financial assets.
