Closing the income gap through STEM education

OUR VISION: A WORLD WHERE EVERY CHILD CAN DEVELOP THEIR POTENTIAL IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH.
OpenWise Learning (OWL) is part of the larger OpenWise social enterprise. OWL is a youth development organization serving marginalized kids by providing them with STEM education with an emphasis on Technology, Social Justice, and Ecological Justice.
We follow our young scholars from middle school through high school. We provide them with educational and professional opportunities in apprenticeships through our sister organization OpenWise and other partner organizations.
We're opening new pathways to STEM careers for marginalized kids, expanding their understanding of the world, and providing them with the tools to contribute to their local and global communities. We achieve our aims through Open Source technology STEM education, international youth collaboration, mentorships, and apprenticeships. LEARN MORE
Transforming marginalized kids into STEM-fluent global leaders.
Our philosophy is to empower kids with knowledge of the natural world and technology and instill a sense of responsibility to their communities and our planet. We hope to provide marginalized kids with applicable college and career-ready skills and a broader understanding of the world outside of their immediate context through our blended and global STEM education approach. We want them to appreciate their place in the world, their responsibility to themselves, and their communities as global citizens. We aim to develop leaders driven to positively impact the world who have the knowledge and tools to turn their ideas into reality.
