Service Through STEAM
Since the start of 2018, One World has been a trailblazer in bridging the achievement gap in STEAM education. We believe we have a moral and scientific obligation to introduce the infinite aspects of STEAM to all people living within this planet. Furthermore, we hope to inspire youth to pursue STEAM related future careers, through exposure and immersion from a young age. It is imperative that all citizens of the global community have access to the innovative and enriching opportunities that STEAM has to offer.
What We Do
Teach, Engage, Inspire
Global Empowerment
STEAM education is a right! One World has realized that education inequity permeates every community across the world. And, so, we have always worked towards increasing STEAM accessibility for international populations.
Curriculum & Workshop Offerings
For students with a true passion for STEAM, One World tries to partner with educational institutes, such as school systems and community centers, to offer enrichment programs and sample curriculums. If your institution is interested in having One World come to you, please reach out!
STEAM Summit
In 2021, One World hosted its first virtual STEAM summit for over 150 students participating from various states and countries. We hope to grow this initiative with your support and eventually offer this experience in-person with a higher capacity.
OW Ambassadors
Here at One World, we believe students are each other's best support system and mentors. As we continue to expand our initiatives, we will need students, perhaps with more experience in STEAM, to mentor those coming from a more disadvantaged background.
Impact in 2025
Chennai India: Kitchen Renovation
Education for the vulnerable means more than books and pencils—and even more than technology in the classroom. It means making sure children are fed, supported, and able to focus on learning. One World for STEAM is currently working with local partners to coordinate daily breakfast meals for more than 500 students at the Haji Eesa Abbas Sait School in Chennai. As part of this effort, our team helped identify a functional school kitchen, developed a family needs and nutrition questionnaire, and worked with school leaders to understand the community’s broader health and food-security challenges. This initiative reflects our belief that meaningful education begins with meeting a child’s most basic needs.
MATCH UP: Diaper Partnership
One World for STEAM is currently partnering with student leaders to expand access to essential supplies for families experiencing diaper insecurity. Thanks to a generous donation from Healthy Baby, our team is coordinating the receipt, inventory, and delivery of diapers and wipes valued at more than $140,000, while mentoring the high school students who manage the Diaper Hotline. This ongoing initiative strengthens youth leadership, supports family well-being, and advances our mission of equitable, community-driven service.
Arts for All: Collaboration
One World for STEAM is proud to partner with the Arts for All Initiative (AAI) to make arts education accessible for students in Title I schools. Through this campaign, we’re raising funds to help children attend music and arts camps, creative workshops, and enrichment programs they might otherwise miss out on. Many under-resourced schools must prioritize core academics, leaving little room for artistic exploration. Together with AAI, we’re changing that — because integrating the arts doesn’t just inspire creativity; it strengthens learning across science, technology, engineering, and math.
Everyone deserves access to the arts — no matter their zip code.
Together We Make An Impact
After putting together numerous events and programs, One World has made tremendous strides in making families and students feel confident in their abilities and optimistic about the future of STEAM education.
Skill-Building
OW has conducted summer camps and summits and participated in conferences in the DC metropolitan area that have enriched students with STEAM problem-solving skills.
Peer-Mentoring
During the pandemic, One World created a tutoring program for students struggling with academics. In addition, we pioneered an advising series where students could virtually meet with and learn from STEAM professionals.
Uplifting Communities
OW has worked with global communities by supplying technology and academic resources. Our most notable project is in Chennai, India, where we have transitioned classrooms to SMART boards and computers. One World has also worked with students in rural Ecuador and Morocco.
One World gave our students a passion for STEAM
​
"I cannot tell you how touched I was that our students had this opportunity [One World STEAM Summer Camp] this summer and that they had a chance to be mentored by the One World team! I'm sure you've planted seeds for the future for so many of them to think of STEAM careers and activities in the years to come!"

From shyness to self-confidence
​
​
"I was a participant in the 2021 STEAM Summer camp in collaboration with HEAL. I never knew about environmental science before this experience, and this camp has made me more confident in thinking about future careers in STEAM. I also view the counselors as life-long mentors that I can always reach out to for advice and guidance."​

"I am the main supervisor of the school in India that has partnered with OW over the past few years. They have transformed our school with technology resources including SMART classrooms and more laptops. The work OW is doing with us has and will continue to make a significant impact on our students' educational careers."​

STEAM Education
​
​
STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Math) solely focuses on scientific concepts. STEAM investigates the same concepts, but does so through inquiry and problem-based learning methods and incorporates the Arts. STEAM education provides students with the opportunity to learn creatively and the skills attained from STEAM learning are imperative for growing an innovative and intellectual workforce. Educators and scientists like math rockstar Eddie Woo, artist/engineer Stephen Mushin, and bio-engineer Melissa Tate illustrate how STEM plus the arts work with extraordinary synergy.

CHANGING THE PERSPECTIVE
Corporate Supporters
​
These organizations all share a common sentiment: all support the mission and vision of One World. It is becuase of these intelligent organizations that we have been able to accomplish our goals so far. The expertise and support that has been provided has been invaluable in our efforts to promote STEAM learning to students and their communities. We sincerely thank our supporters, community leaders, sponsors, and partners.
