The staff at Sankoré Institute has a broad range of expertise in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics as well as related topics such as scientific communication, grant writing, parenting, and education. We draw from this expertise in various outreach activities as we collaborate with corporations, churches, universities, K-12 schools and other non-profit organizations. Our goal is mutually beneficial collaborations that enable us to contribute to the growth of intellectual infrastructure in African and African American communities in STEM disciplines.

Sankoré Institute outreach activities include workshops, training, consulting services, lectures, and professional development. Specific outreach activities are coordinated either through partnering organizations or through Sankoré Speakers Bureau.

Workshops, Training, and Consulting Services
Workshops, training, and consulting services are primarily offered in partnership with corporations, non-profit organizations, K-12 schools and districts, churches, and community organizations. Sankoré Institute staff offer workshop, training, and consulting services in scientific communication; employee recruitment and retention; grant writing; non-profit establishment, development, and governance; and curriculum design.

Lectures
Lectures are primarily offered in partnership with corporations, universities, and community organizations. Sankoré Institute staff members deliver lectures on topics related to STEM, and the improvement of African and African American communities.

Professional Development
Professional development services are primarily offered in partnership with K-12 schools and districts that serve large numbers of African and/or African American students. Sankoré Institute staff offer professional development on core topics in STEM. Professional development offerings differ from traditional professional development offerings in that they take foundational topics and focus on aspects of these topics that (a) are more directly useful in K-12 instruction, and (b) help African and African American students (and their teachers) see how STEM content is relevant to their communities.
