Ignited is a Silicon Valley-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering educators to transform their students’ career trajectories. We believe that teachers are the ultimate catalysts for innovation and transformative change within the K-16 education system.

Our work bridges the gap between classrooms and careers by creating meaningful connections between educators and professionals from leading industries. Through hands-on summer experiences, teachers gain the tools they need to inspire the future STEM workforce.

Over the past 40 years, Ignited has:
• Provided over 4,000 educators with industry experiences
• Impacted 4 million students, 58% of whom are underrepresented in STEM fields
• Partnered with more than 440 companies, universities, government labs, and foundations
