Couragion pledges to:
Elevate underrepresented role models in STEM fields to build awareness of what’s possible - 70% of Couragion role models are female & 40% are from communities of color.
Boost intention of students pursuing STEM competencies so that we can close the skill gap - after engaging with Couragion every school's intention metric to pursue STEM-related careers increases & students who initially had the lowest interest scores had the biggest improvement - jumping 25% in interest level.
Increase the number of underrepresented students prepared to pursue the jobs of the future - 91% of students agree that Couragion is a helpful way to learn and practice important job skills.
Advance teacher capacity to improve the quality & access of STEM & computer science education by teaming with MindSpark Learning on STEMpath - our transformational educator professional learning experience.

“I really like this app because it informs you about different career opportunities and it also helps you choose one that you might actually love doing when you grow up. So it practically prepares you for it. I honestly can’t find a flaw in this app and would use it at home.” — 9th Grader, St. Vrain Valley School District
