STEM Paths Innovation Network (SPIN) is on a mission to close the opportunity gap for women and BIPOC communities in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). The Young Entrepreneur Project (YEP), is a program that teaches STEM skills along with social emotional tools to support young entrepreneurs to plant, grow, invest and manifest their dreams.
The marathon to build our future leaders begins here.
YEP supports youth to manifest STEM businesses by learning skills and doing hands-on training. Youth are prepared not only with the entrepreneurial and STEM skills to succeed, but also with tools to overcome the social emotional challenges of becoming young, successful entrepreneurs in today's society.
We know that there is a need for a path into the workforce that does not require a four-year degree. YEP provides access and exposure to non-traditional STEM careers. YEP students learn how to build their dreams through designing and developing the entrepreneurial ideas they have today.
