The Engineer Factory believes that one way to reduce disparities in STEM for girls and students in underserved communities is to expose them to fun STEM activities early and often. We spark interest in STEM for TK-8th grade students by partnering with schools to conduct hands-on, project-based, NGSS aligned STEM workshops in class.

STEAM in Community and School

South LA has produced world class athletes, many getting developing their skills at local parks and gyms. Engineer Factory has opened our "STEM Gym" in South LA where we offer weekly STEM fundamental classes, skills development workshops, competition preparation and exposure to STEM mentors. We're producing future world class STEM professionals!

Competitions are a great way to engage students in project-based learning while motivating them toward success via friendly completion! The Engineer Factory collaborates with schools and community organizations to build teams of students to compete in engineer-related contests.

Competition Teams

Did you know that only 1% of computer scientists are African American? Less than 7% are Latinx, and less than 20% are female, despite them making up 50% of the population? We strive to positively impact these numbers by offering fun, hands-on computer science classes to K-12 students.

Computer Science Equity
