Please Help Support GYSTC
GYSTC’s unique profile and proven track record in addressing the critical and underserved areas of STEM education are our greatest strengths. However, we are challenged by the need to maintain and increase our revenue in a time of more needed virtual learning. One obvious solution is to work harder, smarter and more creatively to devise innovative programs that will compel support; we are doing that! This year, GYSTC served 56,896 students and teachers in 223 schools from 87 school districts. GYSTC provided nearly $1 million for supplemental STEM education for Georgia teachers and students in FY 2020!
Empowering students for STEM careers is what we do!
