About STEM From Dance
STEM From Dance(SFD), headquartered in New York City, uses dance to empower, educate, and encourage girls to be the next generation of engineers, scientists, and techies. Through SFD programming, students build confidence through dance and create challenging, technology-infused performances – ultimately building the skills needed for a future in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
Our partnership and impact
Through a donation of Zoom technology and multi-year grants from Zoom Cares, SFD’s programming remained virtual or hybrid throughout the first half of 2021. Instructors saw girls dancing in backyards, hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms, sharing their creations with each other through Zoom. Over the summer, SFD was able to bring together girls from nine different states through Zoom to share, collaborate, and learn. SFD kept its momentum going despite COVID-19 challenges through virtual connection via Zoom, which allowed the organization to build community during a stressful and ever-changing time in an environment of positivity, joy, and artistic creation.
