STEM NOLA (SN) is an organization founded by New Orleans native, and former tenured Tulane University Engineering professor, Dr. Calvin Mackie. The purpose of its existence is to Expose, Inspire, and Engage members in the surrounding communities about the opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

STEM NOLA designs and delivers activities, programs and events that bring Inspiration, Motivation, and Training to all STEM stakeholders, especially to underserved communities. Participants will receive the opportunity to obtain 21st Century skills of Communication, Collaboration and Critical Thinking.

We realize that any effective community-based STEM program must be broad enough to include everyone, yet focused enough to reach the people where they are, on their level, and, take them to where they need to be to compete and succeed in life.

STEM NOLA's mission is to grow future innovators, creators and makers!!
