Our Vision
GEN2050® inspires and empowers youth to become exemplary world leaders.
Our Mission
GEN2050® is an innovative STEAM-focused youth development program for students in K through 12th grades. This year-round program engages students in intensive learning environments to inspire and prepare them for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Culture, and Mathematics) majors, entrepreneurship, self-leadership, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility.
Our Impact
According to a research evaluation of GEN2050® Summer Camp 2024, our students reported statistically significant increases in their self-esteem from the beginning to the end of summer camp. GEN2050® summer camp curricula provided equitable learning opportunities for all students, regardless of their background. And across all STEAM curricula evaluated, our students maintained their knowledge one month after camp completion. Click the link to read the full report: GEN2050 2024 Research Evaluation
