Who We Are:

STEM Ignited is a non-profit organization co-founded by Kopano Ruth Moshoana and Pretty Tsholofelo Ndlovu, who are passionate leaders committed to creating equal opportunities in STEM.

At STEM Ignited, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to dream big and succeed. Our mission is to inspire, educate, and empower youth in South African townships and rural communities to pursue careers and entrepreneurial ventures in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Together, we are shaping a future of innovation and equality, with a bold goal to build 1 million STEM entrepreneurs by 2033.

Be part of the change. Join us in creating opportunities for youth to thrive in STEM.

What We Do:

We provide mentorship, training, and resources to empower girls aged 10–18 from underserved communities, helping them unlock their potential and transform into the leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

Why it matters

STEM careers are shaping the future, yet youth from under-resourced areas often lack access to the resources and networks necessary to pursue them. We aim to change that—empowering youth to not only participate in but lead the innovation economy.
