About KIPP NYC

We Believe in Investing in STEM

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) readies KIPP NYC students for the future of higher education and successful careers in in-demand fields, as well as equipping them to be informed, responsible stewards of our world.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is the thread that ties together the vision and mission of the STEM work at KIPP NYC. We approach this with four themes: (1) self-awareness and affirmation of identity/culture; (2) literacy in science is liberation; (3) science is for all students; and (4) family & community engagement.

Computational Thinking, Data Science, and Computer Science

All students develop algorithmic thinking, pattern recognition, abstraction, and decomposition skills as they operate robots, write code, and engage in problem-solving. Students learn about collecting, organizing, and drawing conclusions from data when answering real-world questions. We provide a foundation for students to take computer science courses in grades 6-12.
