More about The Parris Foundation: The Parris Foundation believes that attracting young people to STEM is the key to closing the achievement gap, and eradicating the disparity in academic performance between disadvantaged and privileged students. In an effort to break the cycle of poverty in underprivileged communities, The Parris Foundation equips disenfranchised students with the tools needed to pursue STEM disciplines, academically and professionally. The Parris Foundation’s access programs provide extended learning opportunities to supplement and enhance in-school learning. The U.S. has lagged behind other countries in terms of global competitiveness in recent years; competitiveness will only improve if we start molding the next generation of innovators at a young age. Exposure to STEM via The Parris Foundation's S.T.E.M.-ulating programs: Provides supplemental education so that under-served students in urban areas are better equipped in their quest to compete as STEM professionals Engages and intellectually challenges students to be innovative, analytical thinkers and problem solvers Creates an environment where STEM fundamentals are not just read in a text book, but instead, made applicable to real-world scenarios Nurtures students’ innate curiosity to learn and explore Showcases the vast opportunities available in all facets of STEM
