About

Apex STEM Education

Apex STEM Education develops New Jersey students through hands-on engineering, data-driven problem solving, and AI literacy — with competitive STEM Racing as our flagship program.

Mission

To provide youth STEM education for grades 6–12 through hands-on engineering, data-driven problem solving, AI literacy, and project leadership — including competitive STEM Racing teams, workshops, mentorship, and community outreach.

Vision

A sustainable regional hub where students build engineering, data, AI literacy, and leadership skills through competitive teams and workshops — regardless of whether their school offers a formal program.

Aspiration: Skills transfer to college STEM programs and technical careers. STEM Racing is the proving ground, not the ceiling.

  • Responsible AI literacy — AI assists; students own their work
  • Transparency & access — clear budgets, sponsor reporting, reduced barriers
  • Safety & integrity — waivers, insurance, documented policies
