Together, we’re building Oklahoma’s STEM future
by Katie Burk, Director of Development
Ignite Curiosity. Inspire Innovation. Impact Futures.
Thanks to supporters like you, 2025 has been an extraordinary year for STEM in Oklahoma. As we close out the year, your generosity continues to spark the curiosity, confidence, and opportunities that help young people imagine—and build—their futures.
Give by December 31 to make your gift count for 2025 and help spark the next wave of discovery!
Every day, we see the spark that happens when curiosity meets opportunity. Because of your commitment to STEM access, students and educators across Oklahoma gained the tools, experiences, and encouragement they need to explore, invent, and thrive.
This year, your generosity has helped:
Equip 953 educators and 200 community collaborators with high-quality STEM training and resources.
Created more than 100,000 STEM experiences—each one preparing students with essential skills and inspiring them to imagine bold futures.
Provided $56,000 in STEM grants to empower organizations and educators to strengthen STEM learning.
Saved schools over $236,725 through our STEM Shoppe lending library, ensuring access to high-quality, hands-on learning tools.
These numbers tell a powerful story, but the true impact lives in the moments your support makes possible.
Impact That Shows Up in Real Lives
A student discovering her love for robotics, a teacher bringing hands-on science into the classroom, a family exploring the wonders of space together.
These are the experiences shaping Oklahoma’s STEM future, and they happen because of you!
“There is so much I can still learn, and there are more resources out there than I thought. There are some incredible educators I can learn from, and I’m excited to discover them through TRSA’s PD opportunities.”
“I feel like the speakers were very friendly [belonging] and it was comfortable to ask questions.”
“I want to pursue a field that has STEM. It supports it [belonging] because it teaches me more and helps me understand it more.”
“This STEM project makes me like STEM more than I did before.”
Why Your Year-End Gift Matters
At TRSA, we believe every child deserves to see themselves in STEM. Your gift helps ensure access doesn’t depend on a school’s resources, a family’s income, or a student’s zip code.
As you consider your year-end giving, know this: every contribution—large or small—helps spark the next STEM breakthrough for an Oklahoma student.
Give by December 31 to make your gift count for 2025 and keep these transformative experiences growing into 2026.
From all of us at TRSA, thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Your belief in the power of STEM changes lives, and together, we are building a brighter, bolder future for Oklahoma!
