The IGNITE Worldwide Program is designed to be accessible to all schools, teachers, and students. IGNITE is committed to meeting students and educators where they are, through flexible options like virtual or in-person programming.

IGNITE’s pledge to create permanent change within STEM fields begins with an equitable approach – giving all IGNITE Students the chance to engage in STEM during the school day. By sparking an interest in STEM education and career fields at an early age, IGNITE Students are more interested and engaged in the opportunities available to them.

Underrepresented groups are being left behind in STEM. IGNITE Worldwide is intentional about reaching underrepresented communities, providing the IGNITE Program at no cost to the school district – which is why we need you to help grow our funding. To ensure that students have access to the IGNITE Program, events are offered during the school day in cooperation with teachers and their schools.

Diversity in the workforce propels innovation. Through an expansive network of mentors and advocates, IGNITE Worldwide has built a supportive community of STEM educators and professionals that represent IGNITE Students, grounded in our shared values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.

The IGNITE Program is grounded in best practice research, designed to achieve the highest impact possible for our students, educators, and volunteers. By providing customized training and tools, the IGNITE Team provides support to IGNITE Teachers and Volunteers on all aspects of event planning and logistics, day-of activities, and post-event reporting.
