Math is a key gatekeeper to STEM success. Yet, access to math enrichment is often out of reach for low-income students. BEAM provides advanced math enrichment to historically marginalized students, supporting them from middle school through college so they can succeed at STEM majors and thrive in STEM careers. This grant will help us expand to reach more students in Central, East and South LA. Your support will bring math enrichment to students who may otherwise never have the chance to explore advanced math.

BEAM Summer STEM Programs
Access to STEM enrichment opportunities are often out of reach for low-income students. BEAM provides STEM enrichment to historically marginalized students so they can realize their STEM dreams. This grant will support BEAM’s summer programs: Discovery, a 5-week camp for rising 7th graders where students explore advanced math, and Summer Away, a 3-week residential program for rising 8th graders where students learn college-level math and build community, ultimately creating pathways to STEM college and career success.
