1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• THANKS TO THE FUNDING WE RECEIVED FROM DONORS WE WERE ABLE TO CONDUCT OUR 3 FLAGSHIP PROGRAMS, EXPOSING STUDENTS TO STEM VIA: GIRLS IN STEM (GSTEM), STEM SATURDAY, AND COMPETITIVE ROBOTICS CLUB. IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR OVERARCHING MISSION, WE EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPLORATION WITHIN STEM DISCIPLINES WHILE IMPARTING ESSENTIAL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING METHODOLOGIES. WE ENGAGE STEM PROFESSIONALS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH ROLE MODELS AND GAIN INSIGHTS FROM REAL-LIFE SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS. THE PRESENCE OF INDIVIDUALS WHO RESEMBLE OUR STUDENTS AND ARE SUCCESSFULLY ENGAGED IN THEIR DESIRED PROFESSIONS SERVES AS A POWERFUL SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT, REINFORCING THE BELIEF THAT THEIR ASPIRATIONS ARE ATTAINABLE. YO-STEM HOSTED AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS AT TWO MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN EAST TENNESSEE. WE HOSTED OURROBOTICS PROGRAM AT VINE MIDDLE SCHOOL, A PRIORITY SCHOOL WHERE 84% OF THE STUDENT POPULATION IS BLACK OR HISPANIC, 53% ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, AND ONLY 6.5% ARE MASTERING GRADE-LEVEL STANDARDS IN MATH AND ELA COMPARED TO 37.2% FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND 37.6% FOR THE STATE(STATE OF TENNESSEE, 2024). GIRLS IN STEM IS HOSTED AT SOUTH DOYLE MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHERE 32% OFTHE STUDENT POPULATION IS BLACK OR HISPANIC, 32% ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, AND ONLY 11.8% ARE MASTERING GRADE-LEVEL STANDARDS IN MATH AND ELA COMPARED TO 37.2% FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND 37.6% FOR THE STATE (STATE OF TENNESSEE, 2024). STUDENTS INVOLVED IN OUR CLUBS EXHIBIT ABILITY IN STEM, YET COULD BE IMPACTED BY THE CHALLENGES OFATTENDING A TSI (TARGETED SUPPORT AND IMPROVEMENT) SCHOOL. BY ENGAGING THEM IN STEM ACTIVITIESON A REGULAR BASIS AND PROMOTING OWNERSHIP, WE ARE ENSURING A LONG-LASTING LOVEFOR STEM, IGNITING AN INTEREST IN STEM CAREERS, BOTH OF WHICH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND COLLEGE READINESS. DURING THE 2024-2025 ROBOTICS SEASON WE HAVE SERVED 15 STUDENTS (2 GIRLS, 11 BOYS, AND 2 NON-BINARY INDIVIDUALS) TO FORM 4 TEAMS: TEAM ULTRAMAINIUM (CO-ED), TEAM G (CO-DED), URANIUMDONKEYS (BOYS), AND RADIUM (CO-ED). STUDENTS COMPETED IN THREE VEX IQ ROBOTICS COMPETITIONS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO QUALIFY FOR THE STATE COMPETITION. TEAMS ULTRAMAINIUM AND URANIUM DONKEYS WON JUDGES AWARD AND 2ND PLACE TEAMWORK CHAMPION, RESPECTIVELY, IN THEIR FIRST ROBOTICSCOMPETITION THAT WAS HELD IN CHATTANOOGA TN, NOVEMBER 2024. TEAM RADIUM TOOK HOME THE JUDGES AWARD AT THE FEBRUARY VEX ROBOTICS COMPETITION HELD IN CORRYTON TN. THE GAME THISSEASON WAS VERY CHALLENGING, UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE TEAMS QUALIFIED FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.THE GAME THIS SEASON WAS VERY CHALLENGING, UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE TEAMS QUALIFIED FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. OUR GSTEM PROGRAM AT SDMS HAS SUCCESSFULLY REACHED ITS CAPACITY, PROVIDING WEEKLY STEMPROGRAMMING TO 15 GIRLS. THESE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE BUILDING AND PILOTING OF DRONES, LEARNINGELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY, AND STUDYING FORMULATIONS FOR COSMETIC SCIENCES. WITH THE HELP OF 33 VOLUNTEERS, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BRING IMPACTFUL STEM PROGRAMMING AND ACTIVITIES TO OVER 200 STUDENTS VIA OUR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTS, AT NO COST TO THE STUDENTSFISCAL YEAR 2025.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
