Founder's Message

Ani Nishanian, Founder & President

Welcome to We STEM the Future!

I’m Ani Nishanian, an 8th grader at Rocky Run Middle School, and I founded this organization to empower and inspire young minds to explore the limitless possibilities of STEM. Having experienced challenges like age discrimination and growing up with a background rooted in Armenia, I’ve come to understand firsthand the importance of overcoming barriers to pursue one's passions. These experiences have shaped my belief that every child deserves access to the tools and resources needed to thrive in STEM fields.

At We STEM the Future, our mission is to provide engaging educational resources and hands-on opportunities that ignite curiosity and foster innovation. We aim to equip today’s students with the skills to tackle the real-world problems of tomorrow, such as climate change and pollution—issues I am deeply passionate about addressing through my own STEM projects.

Through this initiative, I hope to inspire the next generation of innovators, encouraging them to believe in their potential and create meaningful change. Together, we can build our future, one child at a time.

“Inspiring the curious kids of today will shape the scientists and engineers of tomorrow"
