The aim of the US ORT Operations STEM Program initiative is to provide affordable and modern STEM education to Jewish and non-Jewish students in underserved segments of our communities.
The future is here.
Traditional education is not keeping up.
Generational sea change in the workforce, a technological revolution in the economy, and a growing lack of professionals with a technical education will leave millions of jobs unfilled according to experts.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the economy will need as many as 100,000 new information technology workers per year over the next decade. Right now, only about 60,000 of these workers enter the workforce each year.
Today’s STEM classroom has to provide students with problem-solving skills, technology skills, and an introduction to ways of working that are based on prevalent and latest advances in education as well as the business world.
We future-proof our program with a focus on Computer Science & Engineering.
In addition to all of the core topics covered, US ORT Operations STEM students receive project-based introduction to HTML, C++, JavaScript, Web Design, Game Design, Artificial Intelligence, and more…
Introducing students to ways of working that are transforming industries.

Our modules infuse best practices in project management and teamwork as we introduce students to elements of Agile project delivery where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration and cross-functional teaming.
