Serving South Florida

Our Mission

The Manifezt Foundation aims to make quality STEM education accessible to students of all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Our long term goal is to equip our community with the skills to thrive in a South Florida continuously penetrated from a growing STEM market.

Equal education for all is a value we keep central to the Manifezt model; ultimately, a diverse learning environment that nurtures curiosity and encourages inquiry is what aim to provide our community after all of our efforts.

STEM Initiatives

Our leaders teach using open-ended and guided discussion methods, paired with smaller activities throughout that enable our students to incorporate the scientific method in their questioning and learning.

Science In The City
Science in the City workshops bring student s of all backgrounds together to immerse them in STEM activities built around college – and career-level standards, centralized around the marvel of space exploration all while covering sciences from environmental science to coding.
Youth STEM Program
Extensive hands-on stem education program for children 8-18 infused with experiments tailored to spark their interest in STEM, so we can transition into showing them the potential careers in those areas.

The Need

For decades, hospitality has been the focus of South Florida’s Infrastructure building. This has lead to the lack of investment scalable business opportunities including STEM industries.

STEM careers are the highest paying of any industry as well as the most expensive to teach.
Study after study, there is one critical underlying theme – education system in America needs significant improvement.

The challenge commences when one attempts to solve how and where to improve.

Florida is
45
in the nation in total funding per student in public schools.
Florida is
38
in median income in United States.
In Florida
87
of students are enrolled in public schools.
Miami is the
1
most unaffordable city in America

Our Plan

In public schools, unfortunately, due to the lack of funding, there has been a reduction in the hands-on career based STEM Education, leaving kids without practical application experiences.

Here at Manifezt, we supplement traditional in-school education with a project-based curriculum designed to capture their interest, provide real world exposure, and more importantly limelight the various career opportunities available in STEM.

In partnerships with universities we implement workshops at community centers, libraries, and schools across South Florida. This allow us to develop highly-skilled, socially conscious STEM workforce. This gives way to local innovation and aids the growth of STEM Industries in South Florida.

Programs

Implemented at community centers, libraries, and schools throughout South Florida, our immersive Programs are designed to captivate children’s interest.
