About

 For more than 12 years, Future Generation STEM Academy has focused on learning strategies designed to develop the capacity of each student to access, assimilate, and utilize knowledge in a practical, hands-on, career focused way.   While we do not know the career path of the children we serve, we strive to provide them with opportunities to develop a strong foundation. The highly skilled all-volunteer staff has donated countless hours to offer a high-quality program.  

We launched our first elementary based program during the 2014-2015 school year. Our program endeavors to enrich the lives of children in the Orange County education system and other educational programs. We conveniently operate out of Ocoee, Florida.

 
Furthermore, we serve a dynamic and industrious population located in a transitioning community. As a result, our student body is very diverse and in need of unique learning opportunities. Future Generation STEM Academy helps to make this possible because of the commitment of parents, staff, and community members who volunteer their time.

 
The Future Generation STEM (FGSTEM) Academy, Inc., (a small non-profit organization) provides financial support so we can take students on educational field trips to places like Legoland, Zoo Tampa and the Kennedy Space Center. Additionally, FGSTEM also provides materials for experiments and engineering projects. One of our most successful community involvement projects this school year was our STEAM Night at Citrus. 

The program remains committed to the mission on which it was founded. However, this is coupled with a high value being placed on artistic beauty and elegance in design.

 Our Mission

FGSTEM is to enhance the development of our next generation of innovators, technology professionals, and entrepreneurs by offering an educational curriculum to stimulate and nurture aspiring young student’s interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
