STEMfire is a collaboration tool focused on facilitating volunteer engagements with students & educators. Volunteers and edcators provide profiles in STEMfire. Educators request support for specific events and the STEMfire tool will share these events with all volunteers. Educators can communicate directly with volunteers within the STEMfire tool and also the ability to search the volunteer database for specific domain experience.
If you have a creative idea of how to get a STEM professional involved, we can help match you with a well-qualified candidate. You just need to specify your targeted subjects of interest and the kind of job you'd like the volunteer to assist with, and we'll pair you up with local experts in the industry. You can also search our database directly for a professional who matches your exact needs. Visit stemfire.com for more info.
