Underserved students are less likely to major in or have a career in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Therefore, a group of GEAR UP professionals came together to address this persistent challenge through a design thinking process known as a Discovery Lab. 

The result: the STEM Toolkit, which encourages GEAR UP programs to implement STEM activities and connect them to college and career. No matter your background or level of expertise in STEM, this practical guide includes recommendations, lessons learned, and a list of resources to get you started. The toolkit also contains over 20 different STEM activities created or curated by the group and our national partners.
