STEM

Mission:
The United States Minority Contractors Association (USMCA) has launched a new Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (“STEM”) Educational Foundation curriculum for under-represented minority students currently attending Chicagoland schools. The STEM program will inspire students to ask questions, identify challenges, probe new techniques and create solutions in these disciplines. Access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education by these students is sorely needed throughout the United States. The USMCA STEM program will help advance access by students in targeted communities to courses by utilizing professionals within the USMCA to offer educational and training opportunities that will guide local youths towards pursuing advanced degrees and careers in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields.
