Introduction to SEM Link

In 2005, when I created SEM Link, my vision for the organization was to connect K-12 students and educators to science, technology, engineering and mathematics undergraduate students, graduate students and professionals in order to enhance the science and math educational experiences for K-12 students. I wanted bring some of the strong math and science content to add to the educational experience of students. As the organization has evolved over the years, we have exposed over 200 metro Atlanta youth to various stem career paths, providing science and math fair project mentors and judges and engaged students in hands on activities. We are truly achieving our vision of "unveiling potential through exposure". We need people that have science, math and engineering backgrounds or have an organization to support our organization by volunteering or donating to the organization, so we can increase our impact in the Metro Atlanta community and beyond.

About SEM Link

Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link, Inc. (SEM Link), a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, was founded in 2004 on the premise that exposure to members of the science, engineering and mathematics (SEM) communities is critical to student development in math and science. Our mission is to promote student achievement and career exploration in math and science while increasing student exposure to the science, engineering and mathematics communities and enhancing resources that are available at local schools and community organizations. Our two core programs, Math and Science Career Academy and Experimental Design Program, provide students with an opportunity to develop their math and science skills by enhancing the classroom learning experience and teaching them skills that are transferable to other areas of life. We recruit students and professionals for our programs that have backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
