Fuel the Future with LET’S GO 🚀

LET’S GO has launched the Future Forward Fund, a bold two-year, $1 million investment in students, innovation, and the future STEM workforce. This fund expands hands-on, MSDE-aligned STEM programs and builds clear pathways from classroom to career for students in underrepresented communities.

Our Year One goal is $500,000 by June 30, 2026, and thanks to early leadership support, $223,000 has already been raised. But the need is urgent. Demand for STEM talent is growing, and students can’t wait.

Every gift moves us forward—scaling proven programs, strengthening workforce development, and reaching more students with the skills, confidence, and credentials needed for tomorrow’s jobs.

💡 Now is the moment to lead. Join the Future Forward Fund and help shape the STEM workforce of tomorrow—starting today.

👉 Yes, I want to fuel the future.

✨ Happy New Year from LET’S GO! ✨

As we step into a new year, we’re reminded why our work matters so deeply. STEM fields continue to face gaps in representation, and too many brilliant minds still lack access to opportunity. But every day, we see what’s possible when students are given the tools, support, and encouragement to explore, create, and lead.

At LET’S GO, our mission is to create economic success for underserved and marginalized communities through STEM education and workforce development. Through hands-on learning, students build skills, spark curiosity, and open doors to lifelong pathways they once only dreamed about.

This year, we’re moving forward with hope, purpose, and a commitment to equity. Together, we can build a future where every student sees themselves as a scientist, engineer, innovator, or leader.

Here’s to a new year of opportunity, impact, and possibility. 💙

Only 2 Days Left! ⏰

There’s still time to help students start the year ready to dream, explore, and build their futures through STEM.

Your year-end gift supports hands-on learning, mentorship, and career pathways that empower students from under-resourced communities with the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

Help us reach our end-of-year goal and make a lasting impact—every gift counts.

👉 Donate today and help fuel the future:

Year-end gifts fuel next year’s students. Only 3 Days Left to Champion STEM Futures in 2025 🚀

As the year winds down, we’re preparing for our biggest year yet — more students, more teaching training, more workforce opportunities, more hands-on learning.

Your year-end gift ensures students start 2026 with everything they need to explore, build, question, and dream.

Will you help us reach our final goal?

The Demand Is Huge!

Nearly 30 million youth want afterschool programs, yet 3 in 4 are missing out. That’s 22.6 million children whose parents would enroll them if programs were available.

At LET’S GO, we’re working to close this gap and ensure every child has access to safe, hands-on STEM learning after school.

We need your help, Baltimore!📣🤖

If you’d be interested in volunteering as a judge to help prepare our young people for an upcoming robotics tournament, we are running a scrimmage/practice tournament for Baltimore City Public Schools FIRST LEGO League (FLL) teams on December 18th from 4-6pm. During this time you would be partnered with at least one other person to facilitate a practice judging session. This involves engaging directly with students (ages 9-14) through interviews and observations, asking (scripted) questions, celebrating achievements, and offering encouragement and constructive feedback along the way.

Absolutely no experience is necessary! There is also a need for more general volunteers, such as escorting students around the building and helping give out snacks.

If you are interested, please DM us to sign up to volunteer, or reach out to Amanda Porter at [email protected] for questions.

🧬 DNA Comes to Life at Marshall Learning Center!

3rd–5th graders at the Marshall-Learning Center in Annapolis got hands-on with science. Students explored DNA, the blueprint of life learning about its structure, components, and role in the human body.

To make learning even more fun, they built their own DNA models using colorful candy 🍬. The activity sparked creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking while making complex science concepts accessible to all students, including English Language Learners and first-generation Americans.

This activity was inspired by STEM Next’s Genomics Learning Journeys, a national initiative created in partnership with Illumina to help youth discover the incredible world of DNA through hands-on exploration.

These engaging lessons connect classroom learning to real-world careers and show how genomics drives breakthroughs in medicine, agriculture, and beyond. Educators can access these interactive resources complete with videos, guides, and multi-level learning paths at https://stemnext.org/genomics-learning-journeys-resources/

This vibrant evening reminded us how hands-on learning makes science exciting, memorable, and inclusive for every student! 🌟
