The article, "STEM-Powered Success: Nyla Nova’s Journey from PitchFeast to Early Learning Innovation," highlights our journey and how we've become a beacon of early learning innovation.
PitchFeast Triumph
Last May 2024, Nyla Nova STEMversity® secured a $25,000 low-interest loan at IMPACT Central Indiana’s PitchFeast event. Our 9-year-old superhero, Nyla Nova, engages children aged 3 to 10 with fun, hands-on experiments that simplify complex STEM concepts. This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to advancing STEM education.
Visionary Leadership
Nakeisha Washington, our founder, boasts over 20 years of teaching experience. During her PitchFeast pitch, she highlighted the importance of building a community where young learners thrive as STEM leaders, problem solvers, and critical thinkers. Under her leadership, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future.
Combatting Financial Inequity
The CICF article also addresses the financial inequities faced by minority-owned businesses. It emphasizes the role of programs like IMPACT Central Indiana in providing the essential support needed to help businesses like ours flourish. Through such initiatives, we can tackle these challenges and create a more equitable landscape.
The Impact of STEM Education
STEM education is pivotal in today’s world. It fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. By incorporating engaging activities, we can ignite kids’ passion for science and technology. This is crucial as we prepare them for careers in these fields. Ensuring accessibility to quality education is a priority for us.
Community Engagement
At Nyla Nova STEMversity®, we believe in the power of community. Our events are designed to bring families together to explore STEM learning.
