Our Programs
LMM students not only gain technical skills but also develop leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities that extend beyond the classroom. By fostering a deep appreciation for STEM and its potential to drive societal change, we are shaping the next generation of innovators, engineers, and problem solvers.
At Louisville Mission Math, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to explore, innovate, and lead in STEM. Through education, mentorship, and hands-on experience, we are building a future where diversity in STEM is the norm, not the exception.
MathCounts Program
Mathcounts isn’t just a math competition—it’s a source of inspiration. It shows kids that no matter where they come from, they can tackle challenging problems and come out on top. It inspires them to see math as a tool to unlock opportunities and build confidence in their problem-solving abilities. Every challenge they overcome through Mathcounts sparks a belief that they can achieve great things, both in and out of the classroom.
Biology Program
This interactive biology program goes beyond basic science, turning high school-level concepts into engaging, hands-on activities that inspire young minds. Designed for late elementary to early middle school students, the program runs for 5-6 weeks. Students will explore biology through fun competitions, group activities, and experiments covering topics such as plant growth, photosynthesis, cell structures, taxonomy, energy transfer, ecosystems, and the water cycle. With prizes awarded each session, this program fosters curiosity and enthusiasm for science while ensuring a memorable learning experience.
PrintingPassion
Our initiative focuses on expanding STEM access by equipping Title 1 schools in JCPS with 3D printers and engineering resources, integrating them into both curriculum and extracurricular activities. We aim to empower future innovators by developing essential engineering skills through hands-on learning with 3D software, real-world design projects, and fostering creativity in 3D art and critical thinking. To ensure sustainability, we establish long-term, school-led 3D printer programs with ongoing support for teachers and students. Our impact includes early STEM exposure, bridging the technology gap for underrepresented groups, and providing practical experience with CAD software, 3D printing, and prototyping to build career-ready skills. By introducing additive manufacturing early, we create a generational ripple effect, inspiring students from underserved communities to pursue STEM careers and fostering diversity in engineering and technology fields.
F1 in Schools Workshop
The F1 in Schools Youth Engagement Program provides students with hands-on experience in engineering, business, and innovation, immersing them in the process of designing, building, and racing miniature F1-style cars. As the first Kentucky team to qualify for the North America Competition, we secured 3rd place and the Hendricks Fastest Car Award, earning a spot at the World Finals in Saudi Arabia. To expand access to this opportunity, we launched a six-week workshop that introduces students to STEM principles like aerodynamics, physics, and mechanical engineering, along with business skills in marketing, sponsorship, and budgeting. Using CAD software, 3D printing, and wind tunnel testing, participants develop technical expertise while enhancing creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. Each session culminates in race day, where students test their designs and refine them based on performance analysis. In partnership with F1 in Schools North America, this program equips young innovators with real-world skills, confidence, and a passion for engineering, inspiring them to pursue STEM careers and break new ground in the field.
