MAD-learn

Since its inception in 2014, MAD-learn has been supporting education programs across the United States and beyond; not only as a core curriculum program but also through virtual and in-person STEM camps, after-school clubs, and weekend clubs in order to create STEM exposure for students and engage them in future-ready skills and experiences. MAD-learn has had the opportunity to work with and serve over 40,000 students in 350 schools across 30 states and 5 countries. Our long-standing relationships and partnerships with reputable organizations such as ISTE, CSTA, CSforALL, Congressional App Challenge, state and local boards of education, and NCCEP have helped in extending our reach in providing equitable access and opportunity to thousands of students, especially the less privileged, girls and students of color. As a global and richly diverse team with offices in Atlanta, Pittsburg, Delhi (India), and Accra (Ghana), we work together with the goal of solving the gap between open STEM/technology-related jobs and qualified candidates to fill them. 

MAD-learn's Founder and CEO, Alefiya Master, is a millennial, woman, seasoned keynote speaker and minority educator turned entrepreneur who believes that enabling students to have passion-driven career choices should be a key focus for schools. The MAD-learn team consists of educators with 50+ years of classroom experience and technologists with 40+ years of building successful cloud-based software who partner to create solutions that are effective in the classroom and robust in implementation.
