ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATIONSTEM From Dance (SFD) equips girls to become the innovators, engineers, and creators the world needs, building creativity, confidence, and skills through the transformative power of dance. America needs one million new STEM professionals in the next decade, and SFD builds the pathway to find them in the communities where talent is most abundant and most overlooked.
Our dance-integrated methodology, developed internally over 14 years, does what conventional STEM education cannot. Through joyful and rigorous learning, it builds the cognitive skills, meaningful connections, and sense of agency girls need to see themselves as innovators, develop skills from AI to data science, and navigate their own STEM futures. We work through facilitators, training the teachers, after-school leaders, community members, and parents who already have daily access to young people, so that every investment multiplies and lasting STEM capacity stays in the community. Our connected program model spans school-year Clubs, summer Camps, single-day Pop Ups, Connect,
our AI-powered platform for personalized next steps, and college and career navigation.
The evidence base is strong. Seventy-six percent of participants report feeling they belong in STEM spaces, more than double the national average of 35 percent. Ninety percent express excitement about STEM careers, and 90 percent of participants identify as Black or Hispanic/Latina. SFD has been recognized by CNN (Hero Top 5), MIT, MIT Solve, and the Falling Walls Foundation, and funded by the National Science Foundation, the Simons Foundation, the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, the William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust, the Pinkerton Foundation, Google.org, OpenAI, L’Oréal, and Gucci.
Built on a bold mission, an ambitious growth plan, and unwavering core values, STEM From Dance envisions a future where girls from every community lead in STEM careers, drive innovation, and build economic prosperity for their families a
