STEM Force

 

STEM Force is a dynamic program dedicated to inspiring and equipping underserved youth with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Through engaging workshops, presentations from field experts, hands-on experiences, and STEM-focused field trips, we bridge the gap between education and real-world STEM professions.

STEM Force offers:

  • Interactive Workshops – Hands-on learning experiences that make STEM subjects exciting and accessible.
  • Networking Opportunities – Connections with STEM professionals who guide and inspire the next generation.
  • Career Exposure – Industry visits, internships, and guest speaker sessions that provide real-world insights.
  • Community Engagement – Partnerships with schools, businesses, and organizations to expand STEM education.

Following the workshop, students work with career coaches from their organization to identify the best pathways to move towards the STEM career of their interest, be it school, certification programs, or internships.

This is a program that relies on grants and donations to keep running each year. With your potential support, we can provide resources, expand programming, and create life-changing opportunities for students.

“This program has helped with my mental and physical health. It has slowly given me opportunities that I can help the world in many ways. I want to remain in STEM way longer”

“This program is helpful […] It is actually needed in this society-community. This is stress relieving. This program will put a good head on people’s shoulders especially the ones growing up from broken homes and lack of educations.”

Student Vlogs

During the Spring 2025 session, we had the privilege of spending six weeks with our students at various natural, historical, and educational sites in Southern Nevada. Our students vlogged their experiences on both their field trips and their classroom activities; we compiled those experiences into a series of videos to commemorate their time spent with DRI. Below you’ll find our playlist.
