OUR STEAM TEAM

STEAMotype was founded in 2017 by four co-founders. Our team has since expanded and welcomed a new core member as well as many volunteers.


Our core team helps coordinate our volunteer efforts and develop content for each week's challenge. We work hard to ensure STEAMotype is true to our values and goals.
