Diversity in STEM is globally critical to our quality of life, yet women and people of color are grossly underrepresented. Underrepresentation is less about lack of capability and more about lack of access and awareness. Disparity outcomes are unavoidably realized when everyone is not at the table! The JEKL Group helps girls and youth of color get interested in, educated on, and ultimately employed in STEM.
We provide scholars with what we call …The GENIUS BOX!, is a collection of innovative experiences in STEM, including art + design. Within this box is everything needed to engage and inspire curious minds: a physical workbook, access to an electronic workbook, as well as access to video demonstrations illustrating how to assemble every included activity. From the golf tee to the carbon filament light bulb…the dissection of a heart and caller ID, each activity is associated with its innovator of Color…The GENIUS BOX…a measurably transformational 100% equitable subscription box that includes all of the materials necessary to perform the demonstrations and experiments.
As we’re entering the giving season, the JEKL Institute is again asking you to partner with us as we donate 100 STEAM Genius Box maker kits to 100 scholars! As little as $65 places one GENIUS BOX! into the hands of a scholar, and $180 provides a GENIUS BOX! for 3 scholars! No amount is too small because we know your hearts are way big!
To date, we have impacted the lives of over 60,000 scholars across two continents and three countries. JEKL is unapologetically changing the face of STEAM forever. We cannot do it and we do not do it without your support, thank you!
