STEM NOLA
About this Organization
STEM NOLA creates an ecosystem of support for students in pre-kindergarten through college to explore and build STEM skills with increasing complexity and intensity. STEM NOLA achieves this goal through the operation of two distinct programming areas.
First, STEM NOLA offers high-quality out-of-school-time programs that engage students in hands-on, project-based STEM learning, from grades K-12.
Second, we provide curriculum, professional development, training and materials for teachers and instructional leaders to support them in integrating hands-on STEM-based learning into their classrooms in school that is culturally competent and developmentally appropriate
STEM NOLA was founded by Dr. Calvin Mackie, a native of New Orleans and award-winning mentor, inventor, author, and successful entrepreneur. A former Tulane University Engineering Professor, Dr. Mackie serves as a gubernatorial appointee to the Louisiana Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Advisory Council (LaSTEM). A product of New Orleans public schools, Dr. Mackie has a longstanding commitment to ensuring students in under-resourced communities have access to STEM and its career pathways.
