STEM Education Partner Landscape Analysis in Canada/North America

STEM Education Partner Landscape Analysis in Canada/North America (Nonprofit & Organizational Research)

Context:

A defense and security company based in Ottawa, Canada is building a corporate STEM outreach program for K–12 students. They need to evaluate potential nonprofit/organizational partners.

An example of what the program might look like at a high level:

Phase 1: Finalize partnerships; co-develop curriculum and teacher toolkit

Phase 2: Pilot launch, mentor onboarding, school kickoff, introduce challenges

Phase 3: Students investigate, design, and build solutions with mentor support

Phase 4: Regional showcase and pilot evaluation

Deliverable (what you must do):

A research report filling out a structured table with these exact columns for each organization: Description/Comments, Website, Rationale for Partnership, HQ Location, Existing Corporate Partners, Certifications/Charitable Status, and Point of Contact (named individuals where possible). Please include more of your discoveries which does not fit the table just below the table or in a separate document. I have already filled out some fields, you can use those as reference, but do not touch the same rows.

The objective is to draft a type of implementation blueprint, to answer questions like:

- How do you reach and onboard schools?

- How is the curriculum structured and delivered?

- How are STEM kits procured, distributed, and managed? (who pays, ship, owns them?)

- How are volunteer mentors coordinated at scale?

- How to recruit and manage volunteer mentors?

- How to get school to say yes?

- What does it look like week by week?

You are not required to answer those questions, but do keep them in mind while you do the research.

Organizations to research:

- Redshifted (Ottawa based)

- Technovation (Canadian?)

- whichever two FREE rows of your choosing
