Stem1 is a community based youth led organization created to provide opportunities for youth to gain confidence in coding and stem related fields.
STEM1 was founded in September 2017 to “Make Coding fun for Kids”. We strongly believe in empowering the younger generation especially girls, to explore technology - tinkering, making mistakes and exploring are all part of the learning
Our mission is to remove the fear of coding for students. .
We empower the students by introducing the fundementals of programming and focusing on Problem solving over scripting. Students are also encouraged to develop their soft skills through presentations and public speaking challenges.
We provide opportunities for students to practice what they have learnt by being leaders in training & ultimately becoming our own Instructors.
Teach 500 kids by the end of 2022 so they can do what they love and make the right career choices.
Our vision is to create a environment that helps both the students and Mentors to reach their full potential by providing the tools & technologies that are needed for them to be successful and #FutureReady.
We are a team of engineers & educators with a passion to make learning both purposeful and exciting for children.
We teach Coding & Robotics to students from Grade 3 - 12.
Every year we host Jr.Hacks, the only STEM hackathon for kids in the Greater Toronto Area. This is our 3rd year hosting Jr.Hacks and we’re going virtual. We’ll be hosting it on April 10, 2021 and fundraising $5,000 for Peel Learning Foundation, a non-profit that supports Peel students with basic necessities they need to excel at school.

In December 2020, we hosted Twas The Bite Before Christmas Breakfast along with Streetsville.org. We raised over $32,000 for Eden Food for Change, a local food bank, which has been doing excellent work helping those in need throughout the pandemic.
