"In order to pursue our mission effectively and create STEM experiences that are as diverse as the world we live in, our 20th anniversary gave us the opportunity to look back and look ahead. This reflection propelled us forward in several ways, none bigger than our new strategic plan which you’ll see highlighted on page 27. Our inspiration and ambition is the top line—impact five million more youth over the next five years."
— Jennifer Stancil, Board Chair (2020-2022)
