Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link Inc. (SEM Link), is a tax-exempt national nonprofit organization that was founded in 2005 by Tokiwa T. Smith in Atlanta, Georgia on the premise that exposure to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) community is critical to K-12 students pursuing STEM careers.  Hence, the organization being named SEM Link, because the essence of our work is connecting youth to the STEM community for youth to provide them with positive adult role models in STEM. SEM Link’s mission is to strengthen the self-efficacy of K-12 students to pursue STEM careers by exposing them to positive adult role models from the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) community that increase students' awareness of STEM careers and encourage their participation in STEM Research through digital learning and hands-on activities.

Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link Inc. (SEM Link) has a two-core program model, Experimental Design Program and Math and Science Career Academy.  SEM Link’s programs increase K-12 students' awareness of STEM Careers and encourage participation in STEM research through digital learning and hands-on activities. Since the organization’s inception SEM Link through our programs and events over 500 STEM professionals have exposed over 15,000 youth to over 50 different STEM career paths as well as supported hundreds of young STEM Research Trainees in Atlanta, the San Francisco Bay Area and the DMV (DC, Maryland and Virginia) areas. We currently offer program activities in Atlanta and DMV Metropolitan areas.

Our Experimental Design Program teaches youth to read, write, do and talk STEM through digital learning, group mentoring and social media. This program also supports young STEM Researcher Trainees by providing judges for STEM competitions and an online course that prepares high school students for STEM Research competitions. Our Math and Science Career Academy exposes students to STEM through career exploration,  hands-on activities and interactive demonstrations in their classrooms, communities and out of school time programs.
