In this milestone 100th episode rebroadcast, we revisit an inspiring conversation with Dr. Calvin Mackie — engineer, entrepreneur, author, and the dynamic founder and CEO of STEM Global Action, formerly known as STEM NOLA.

Born out of a vision to bring hands-on STEM education to the youth of New Orleans, STEM NOLA has grown into a national movement, impacting communities across the country through STEM Global Action. Dr. Mackie shares how a simple mission — to inspire, engage, and expose K–12 students to science, technology, engineering, and math — has evolved into a powerful force for equity, empowerment, and education.

In this episode, Dr. Mackie reflects on the early days of STEM NOLA, the challenges of scaling a grassroots effort, and what drives him to keep pushing forward. His passion for creating opportunities where none existed before is both contagious and deeply moving.

Tune in to celebrate this landmark episode with us and be reminded of the transformative power of purpose-driven leadership in STEM education.
