Impact

Empowering the Next Generation of Innovators

Science In The City Inc. is transforming the future of STEM by creating access to science, biotech, and innovation for students who lack exposure to these fields. Through immersive experiences like Life Sciences Day, hands-on biotech lab visits, and mentorship programs, we connect high school students with leading scientists, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals.

Our impact extends beyond the classroom—students gain real-world exposure, workforce readiness skills, and pathways to high-paying STEM careers.By fostering partnerships with life science leaders, we create meaningful opportunities for young minds to thrive in the innovation economy. Join us in expanding possibilities in STEM education and helping the next generation become leaders in science and technology!

What is STEME?

A new approach to STEM education was created by Kyesha Ruffin, founder of Science In The City Inc. The extra E stands for Entrepreneurship. Students study STEM through the lens of an entrepreneurial endeavor. The standard based curriculum embeds the problem-solving skills necessary to be a proficient STEM entrepreneur. Financial Literacy is explicitly taught with real-world applications. In addition, students connect with industry professionals to hone their presentation skills in a “Shark Tank” Themed culminating project.
