Silicon Valley Education Foundation (SVEF)

Last week, we spent the morning at Alex Anderson Elementary school, watching our Elevate [Math] and [Computer Science] Innovate programs in action. 💫 Joined by donors, community leaders, and corporate partners, we witnessed students leaning into problem-solving with focus in our Elevate [Math] classrooms. In [CS] Innovate, students were building real coding skills, growing the confidence and curiosity that will carry them far beyond the classroom. A big thank you to our partners for joining us, and to our teachers and students for welcoming us into the classroom. 💚 #STEM #Studentsuccess #Education #Mathematics #ComputerScience

Summer 2026 is officially in session, and we are ready! 👏🏽 Great learning does not happen by accident. It starts with 180 educators, mentors, and teacher assistants coming together to align on curriculum, integrate our AI platform D[ai]TA, and sharpen the culturally responsive practices that make every student feel seen and supported. This is how impactful STEM learning begins! 💡 #SVEF #STEM #Math #ComputerScience #ProfessionalLearning

Four students from our Eastside Education Initiative program joined our team, educators, and advocates on Senator Dave Cortese's recent Bus Trip for Education, traveling to Sacramento to make Silicon Valley's voice heard where education policy is shaped. 🗣️ At the heart of this year's trip: Senator Cortese's Senate Constitutional Amendment 5 (SCA 5), legislation that would equalize per-pupil funding so every student receives equal resources, regardless of the district they call home. Read more about SCA 5 here: https://lnkd.in/eC2aSbD2 The work doesn't stop at the classroom door. Policy shapes what's possible for students long before a teacher ever writes on a whiteboard. That's why advocacy is central to everything we do. 🤝🏽 #SVEF #AdvocacyInAction #EducationPolicy #StudentVoices #STEMEducation #EducationEquity

The most effective investment in students starts with the educators who serve them. This Teacher Appreciation Week, SV[e]F celebrates the teachers we have the privilege of partnering with each year. Their commitment ripples outward, reaching thousands of students who are building the foundational skills to thrive in tomorrow's workforce. 🚀 As our summer Elevate[Math] and [Computer Science] Innovate programs approach, we're inspired by the educators who pour into their craft not because it's required, but because they know their students are worth it. To every teacher in our community: thank you. 💚 #TeacherAppreciationWeek #STEMEducation #Math #ComputerScience #InspireTheFuture
