1. Free Tier

Team Formation

All users have access to tools that enable the formation of dynamic teams. This empowers every participant to form teams, initiate projects, and embark on a transformative STEM journey. Team sizes have to be in between 5 and 15.

Team Mentorship

Free mentorship is dedicated to teams that champion inclusivity. To be eligible, teams must include at least three students identified with Emerging STEM Connectivity. An individual can identify with Emerging STEM Connectivity if they meet either of the following criteria:

  • Limited STEM Network: If an individual has fewer than five meaningful connections in STEM fields. A meaningful connection is one that can offer career advice, technical guidance, or valuable introductions. Examples of such connections are:
    1. STEM mentors or advisors.
    2. Professors or academic supervisors.
    3. Collaborators in professional or academic STEM settings.
    4. Contacts from STEM-related academic or industry organizations.
    5. Family ties with accomplished STEM professionals.
  • Regional STEM Access Barriers: Individuals from regions or countries with limited access to global STEM opportunities or networks.

By adopting this criterion, we aim to reach and support individuals who might have had fewer opportunities to connect within the STEM community, thereby broadening the horizon for diverse talents.

2. À La Carte Offerings

  • Team Mentorship: For teams that do not meet the inclusivity criterion, each member has to pay a one-time nominal mentorship fee.
  • Talent Observation Suite: For companies or professionals, this suite offers a unique vantage point to assess potential candidates in real-time project environments. This direct observation provides insights into a candidate’s technical proficiency, teamwork, and overall potential, streamlining the talent acquisition process.
