Local Teen's Nonprofit Launches STEM Olympiad Competition to Help More Students Get Involved in STEM

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - EntSun -- Right now we are in an educational revolution, a time where education must refocus in order to best prepare students for their futures. Leading the effort for this refocusing goal is local Scottsdale, AZ teen Zack Okun, and the nonprofit he founded, STEMducate. STEMducate was founded in 2019 by Zack Okun, as an organization dedicated to advocating and sharing the importance of STEM learning for all age groups. STEM education promotes real-world critical thinking skills that focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
Through his organization, Zack has worked on numerous STEM initiatives in order to excite more students about STEM Education. "If I can inspire one more student to make a difference in the future of this country, I have done my job, but if I can inspire more than one student, and inspire great change in my community, that is my goal," said Okun. Some of the programs STEMducate offers include providing STEM Curriculum for teachers to use in their classrooms, offering Advancing Innovative Mindsets (AIM) Kits to students around the country consisting of fun STEM projects for all ages, a free virtual STEM Institute for high school students to learn valuable STEM skills, a mentorship program that pairs aspiring STEM leaders with industry professionals to help them fine-tune skills and prepare for their futures, a STEM tutoring and hotline service to help students with their STEM education needs, and a STEM Olympiad competition for elementary, middle, and high school students to compete to win awards all while learning new stem skills.
