Who

STEM For Others is a student-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming education through innovative and accessible learning solutions. Our mission is to reimagine the systems of support available to students, fostering a culture of curiosity and excellence that extends far beyond the classroom. Founded in 2023 by Marc Pashin and Ryan Kim at Bellarmine College Preparatory, the organization strives to provide world-class supplemental courses, mentorship, and educational resources designed to meet the needs of students from all walks of life. By championing the belief that every learner deserves the tools to succeed, STEM For Others aims to bridge educational gaps, inspire the next generation of thinkers and leaders, and make quality STEM education a reality for students on a global scale. Through collaboration, advocacy, and innovative programming, we work tirelessly to create a future where knowledge and opportunity are universally accessible.

Why

As U.S. math scores have reached their lowest levels in decades, the education system faces a critical crossroad where students are not being prepared to lead and innovate on a global scale. This issue is even more pronounced for ethnic minorities and socio-economically disadvantaged families, who face systemic barriers to accessing quality STEM education. At STEM for Others, we are addressing these challenges broadly by implementing targeted programs, accessible resources, and community-driven initiatives that empower students everywhere. Through mentorship, advanced learning tools, and equitable support systems, we are equipping the next generation with the critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical skills needed to lead in STEM fields, drive innovation, and maintain a competitive edge in the global landscape. By fostering access to high-quality education, we aim to inspire lifelong learning and ensure that students everywhere have the tools to succeed at the forefront of global progress.
