Our name was inspired by the Artivism (Art + Activism) movement. We embrace their guiding principles of collective engagement with a commitment to freedom and social justice. 

 

Our vision:

 

• Advance STEM projects that are socially and globally responsible, and that communicate with stakeholders for input and informed criticism.

• Accelerate STEM innovation by capitalizing on the talent and ideas from diverse populations and non-STEM disciplines.

• Allow STEM pursuits to be accessible and welcoming to individuals from all backgrounds with clear and equitable pathways for professional advancement.

• Ensure STEM research utilizes practices that are ethical, collaborative, and mitigate the effects of cognitive bias.
