About AccessSTEM
Story
We were founded in partnership with AccessBooks, an organization that seeks to increase equity in education by providing quality books to public school and community libraries where the majority of students live at or below the poverty line.
Vision
AccessBooks and AccessSTEM are united by our shared mission to create a world where every student, regardless of background or SES, has access to a high-quality education in the subjects they are passionate about.
Methodology
Through a network of dedicated student mentors, we combine the individualised instruction that students need to thrive with the scale and impact enabled by online education. Our students then have the opportunity to make a difference with their newfound knowledge at hackathons and workshops aimed at solving global problems.
