The STEMNauts is a ground-roots initiative of educational and academic volunteers whose mission is to “instill inspiration, spread awareness and foster a spirit of collaboration into the underrepresented minorities of STEM and their ecosystem.” It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit allied with four other nonprofits in a vision to “ramp up into a nonprofit franchise with an online presence and build partnerships with academia and the industry.”
STEMNauts explains, “Our interaction with students made us realize that awareness, collaboration and inspiration are as important as books, curriculum and teachers in imparting education. While the schools teach basic curriculum, we go above and beyond schools and provide a kaleidoscopic view of STEM.”
Rochelle Stern, MLIS, Community Outreach Librarian, said that their approach “is based on a rich history in tandem with an urban city whose children need literacy and STEM assistance that makes us proud to support the STEMnauts, a forward-thinking tutoring program.” “We are in concert with the principles of the work the STEMNauts are doing – engaging families and youth to prepare them for a bright future,” she added.
The mission of the Trenton Free Public Library (TFPL) is to bridge the community to literacy, guide learning, and inspire curiosity. Since 1902, the Trenton Free Public Library has been collecting and preserving bits and pieces of the City’s history. Stemnauts Foundation is a foundation focused on educational services and schools, and it is active in several states. Founded in 2018, Stemnauts Foundation is headquartered in Princeton, NJ.
