Shias In STEM
Faith and science,
side by side.
Shias In STEM connects students, industry professionals, academics, and everyone in between across the STEM fields — through education, networking, mentorship, and support for all.
What we do
From the lecture hall to the real world
Shias In STEM was founded to bridge the gap between students and professionals — to educate and inspire, and to build a well-rounded, confident community ready to serve the Imam of Our Time (ajtf); excelling in their fields and raising the banner of the Ahlulbayt (as) through their careers.
Network
We facilitate connections in the community through online and in-person initiatives — productive conversation and the chance to connect.
Education
We educate the community with STEM information and updates, hosting speakers across a wide range of topics for thought-provoking discussion.
Support
Our mentorship scheme is one way we support the community — direct advice, access to opportunities, and like-minded people to connect with.
