-- The initiative aims to provide underserved students with cutting-edge technical skills, positioning them for success in the growing digital economy. This announcement comes as the organization celebrates its co-founder, Oluwatoyin Kode, for receiving the prestigious Global Recognition Award for her contributions to education and entrepreneurship.
Expanding Access to Digital Skills for Underserved Communities
Since its founding in 2019 by Oluwatoyin Esther Kode and Adeolu Kode, STEM College Prep has been committed to bridging the educational gap for minority students. The center has helped hundreds of students improve their standardized test scores and develop in-demand digital skills. The latest expansion aims to equip even more students with industry-relevant training in areas such as coding, 3D animation, and digital entrepreneurship.
“With technology driving the future of work, we cannot afford to leave minority students behind,” said Oluwatoyin Kode. “This expansion is about more than just education—it’s about economic empowerment and ensuring that students from all backgrounds have the skills to compete in today’s job market.”
The results of STEM College Prep’s programs speak for themselves:
• 85% of digital training participants have successfully secured freelance work.
• 90% of test prep students have increased their SAT/PSAT scores by an average of 200 points.
• Hundreds of students have gained college scholarships, thanks to their improved test scores.

Coding & Computer Programming – Teaching students the fundamentals of software development.
• 3D Animation & Digital Design – Providing technical and creative expertise for careers in media and entertainment.
• Freelancing & Entrepreneurship – Preparing students to earn income through platforms like Upwork and Fiverr.
By incorporating hands-on projects and real-world applications, students gain not only technical skills but also practical experience that enhances their future career prospects.
A Vision for the Future: From Test Prep to Tech Careers
Beyond digital skills training, STEM College Prep remains steadfast in its mission to ensure academic excellence and college readiness. The center’s personalized learning approach has opened doors to top universities for its students while also preparing them for workforce success.
“It’s not just about getting students into college; it’s about making sure they graduate with the skills that set them apart in the workforce,” Oluwatoyin emphasized. “We are closing the gap between traditional education and the demands of the modern economy.”
