Applications for STEAM Education Acceleration: GM's 2025 Challenge is still going on. Interested candidates are encouraged to visit here to learn more about this opportunity and to apply.
Opportunity Details
STEAM education—integrating science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics—represents a critical pathway for preparing learners for an ever-evolving world. However, significant barriers prevent many students from accessing quality STEAM learning experiences and pursuing STEAM careers. Current gaps in representation, accessibility, and engagement disproportionately affect some learners, meaning far too few are gaining the skills and confidence needed to thrive in STEAM fields like Information Technology, Automotive and Electrical Engineering, Industrial Manufacturing, and Renewable Energy.
Solutions can be for-profit, nonprofit, or hybrid companies. This Challenge has a preference for solutions led by nonprofit organizations. The following institutions are not eligible to apply:
Capital campaigns, endowments, or private buildings
Faith-based organizations for religious purposes
Government/tax-supported entities
Hospitals and medical-related facilities
Other foundations for purposes of building endowment
Political candidates, campaigns, or organizations
Private clubs, fraternities, or sororities
Organizations that do not share GM's values
Organizations that unlawfully discriminate against individuals or groups on the basis of characteristics protected by local, state or federal law.
Solutions that focus on pathways to careers in the automotive industry are encouraged.
While solutions do not need to be enabled by technology, this Challenge does encourage solutions utilizing a variety of technologies to apply, including those driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), mobile apps, offline-capable systems, SMS and text-based, and more.
Solutions must be serving beneficiaries in the United States. Organizations may be registered in and/or operating outside of the United States, but must have current deployment operations in the US or near-term plans to deploy their solution in the US.
Applications must be written in English.
