PROMOTING STEAM
Unleashing the creativity in youth and transforming it into leaps of imagination that solve global challenges.
“Math may be difficult, so may be Physics and Chemistry and Computer Programming, but what isn’t difficult is the ability to create…all it takes is your imagination and some medium through which you could express that and whatever you create is inherently unique.” — Mr. Enoete Inanga, Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College, St.Kitts and Nevis
Listen in as Maleah Erskine, our STEAM Ambassador from St. Kitts and Nevis and Enoete Inanga discuss the potential for STEAM to transform lives and reinvigorate the education system in St.Kitts and Nevis and beyond.
Creating the scientists, engineers and innovators of tomorrow
"Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement." - - Golda Meir
We believe that Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Culture, and Math (STEAM) are important drivers of innovation and change and can create opportunities for self sustenance for youth across the globe. The ability to develop and utilize skills in these areas have become essential to participate in the current and future marketplace. However, the rise and rapid evolution of technology has not been matched by the emergence of skilled workers able to adapt, develop and utilize innovative advances. The limited gender diversity in these fields not only exacerbate the challenge of finding skilled workers, but also inhibits the different perspectives that brings innovation.
Undoubtedly, science and technology have an impact on ordinary lives beyond the highly-publicized breakthroughs. Technology has stimulated developments that have rapidly altered both rural and urban employment landscapes and economic sectors, including water resource management, sanitation, and agriculture, through enhancements to knowledge working, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. There is no denying that technology has a ubiquitous presence. Studies have demonstrated that the interdisciplinary model of a STEAM approach fosters innovative thinking, leaving students better prepared to understand and apply science and technology concepts. STEAM has been described as an integrated model that compels students to actively think about and tackle real world problems through finding creative solutions.
The Aspire Artemis Foundation believes that when young women and girls have role models, they can become become excited about a field in which they may not have otherwise considered.
Our campaign to create the scientists, engineers and innovators of tomorrow begins today, and we invite you to join the effort!

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."
When one considers, as well, technology’s ability to act as an equalizer between genders and between emerging and developing states, the importance of investing in science, technology and arts education becomes increasingly evident.
Help support youth so that they are prepared for the careers of tomorrow and turn their curiosity into leaps of innovation.
