Don’t just give money, give the gift of a role model
BENEFITS, DONORS & INVESTORS
Impact investors and grant-making foundations no longer have to rely on the organisations that they invest in to self-report the effectiveness of money spent on STEM and STEAM training and career development.

Giving fiat currency can educate a recipient for a short time. Giving Rolecoin will educate a recipient for a lifetime by providing ongoing career discovery, inspiration and guidance from STEAMRole’s ecosystem of top STEAM role models.

BENEFITS ORGANIZATIONS
Organizations providing STEM/STEAM training and career development recognize the need for ongoing coaching and mentorship to program participants.

There is no easy way to monitor the career progress of alumni of the program or provide scalable way for successful alumni to pay-it-forward, until now.

RoleCoin thrives here
RoleCoins track proof-of-progress as it happens on STEAMRole, a skill and career-development mobile app that helps students and aspiring professionals discover and receive ongoing inspiration and guidance from diverse role models with backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, art/design and mathematics.

Follow role models with similar interests, gender, and ethnicity as you and receive video inspiration and learn:

What it’s like to build rockets at SpaceX
What it takes to become a designer at Nike
What skills you’ll need to acquire to build your own startup
Furthermore, take action and learn the skills of any role model by following their roadmap: a checklist of the skills with links to online educational resources where you can learn each skill.
