Our Loravore® STEM supports schools, districts, and community educators in designing and delivering equitable, effective, and culturally responsive STEM learning experiences. Rooted in research and grounded in practice, Loravore bridges rigorous academic standards with the lived experiences of learners, families, and communities.

Three Focus Areas

Loravore® Innovators Circle advances STEM learning through three interconnected areas:

We believe STEM learning is most powerful when it is relevant, relational, and reflective of the world and learners inhabit. Loravore® centers equity not as an add-on, but as the foundation for instructional design, professional learning, and community engagement.

Literacy (Reading and Research)

We cultivate critical reading, inquiry, and research skills that empower learners to engage deeply with texts, ask meaningful questions, and connect knowledge across disciplines. Literacy serves as the foundation for innovation, problem-solving, and academic confidence.

Examples of Literacy (Reading and Research)

Loravore® STEM at READ Summary

Description: Guided by the engineering design cycle, Dr. Erika D. Tate, CEO of Bluknowledge, challenged 21 middle school scholars to build and test a water filter prototype using low-cost household materials.

STEAM and STEM

We design hands-on, interdisciplinary learning experiences that integrate science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Through project-based learning and real-world applications, learners develop creativity, curiosity, and technical skills needed for future pathways.

Example of Early STEM Learning

We invite you to contribute to our Promoting Equity conversations about how early Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) learning experiences can advance equity in schools and communities. As we share this set of early STEM learning resources, we

  • consider the role of identity, representation, and place in early STEM learning experiences that include children of color.
  • wonder how teacher education and professional learning can prepare early and elementary teachers to facilitate STEM learning in a manner that’s responsive to the cultural and linguistic experiences of children.
  • explore how families can be supported to engage in justice-centered, field-based science experiences.
  • seek to crowdsource STEM-inspiring children’s books for early learning settings at home, in schools, and across communities.

Activism & Advocacy

We equip learners to recognize inequities, amplify their voices, and apply STEM knowledge to address community challenges. Activism and advocacy foster leadership, civic engagement, and a sense of responsibility to create positive change.

What We Do

Family & Community Services

Culturally Responsive STEM Learning Experiences 

We cultivate critical reading, inquiry, and research skills that empower learners to engage deeply with texts, ask meaningful questions, and connect knowledge across disciplines. Literacy serves as the foundation for innovation, problem-solving, and academic confidence.

Examples of Culturally Responsive STEM Learning Experiences

Community-Based STEM Learning

Loravore works with community organizations, families, and schools to create learning environments where STEM is accessible and empowering. Our approach values community voice and builds pathways for sustained engagement beyond the classroom.
