TAF is a nonprofit leader in science, technology, engineering and math education. We address three problems that keep students of color away from STEM: low expectations, a shortage of role models in STEM and lack of access to a quality, STEM-focused education. TAF partners with public education, businesses and the community to engage students in the real world of STEM.

The stakes are high. We can’t afford to lose more minds to poverty, or to lose more jobs to nations that are better prepared. Most importantly, we can’t afford to miss out on what any one of these students has to offer.

TAF started as Technology Access Foundation in 1996. Our current programs include TAF Academy and TechStart.
