Calculated Genius Inc

We’re thrilled to announce that Motorola Solutions has awarded Calculated Genius a $5,000 grant in support of our STEMinist Scholarship Program! 💙

This partnership means more resources, more access, and more opportunities for the young scholars we serve as they explore careers in engineering and technology. We’re proud to be part of the network of partners supporting first responder and technology/engineering programs around the world.

Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the next generation of STEM leaders. 🚀

At just 11 years old, Tiera didn’t even know aerospace engineering existed until a company visited her elementary school and introduced her to it. That one moment of exposure changed everything, eventually leading her to MIT School of Engineering and a career designing rockets for NASA Space Launch System. 🚀

You never know which moment might spark a lifelong passion in a young person. That’s the power of exposure, and why access to STEM matters.

Engineering opens more doors than most people realize, and we believe every young person deserves to see the full range of paths available to them. 🚀

STEM isn’t just one path, its dozen is possibilities most students never get exposed to. Even our own founder has a master’s in Sound Engineering under her belt. That’s exactly why we do what we do: introducing young people to careers they may have never even known existed, and helping them build the confidence and support to pursue them. The more doors students see, the more they can imagine for themselves. 💡
