Programs — STEM Education

Mobile
STEM Labs

Inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators to solve the global challenges of today and tomorrow.

Leveling the playing field through STEM.

Avalon Carver's Mobile STEM Labs (MSL) is committed to educational reform that invests in experiential STEM learning opportunities for under-resourced communities. We are dedicated to helping LAUSD achieve educational equity for all its students — especially those underrepresented in STEM careers.

Our goal is to build a strong, diverse, and socially conscious tech workforce by delivering high quality STEM education for Black and Latinx students. We envision a world where every student, regardless of their zip code, can participate and thrive in a digital and global economy.
