Building Sustainable STEM Systems for the Caribbean
We design and deliver inclusive, hands-on STEM/STEAM education that empowers students, equips educators, and strengthens institutions.
Our story
STEM Builders Learning Hub was founded in 2020 on a simple but urgent belief: every child deserves access to meaningful, high-quality STEM/STEAM education—regardless of background, school type, or circumstance.
What began as a small initiative delivering hands-on science activities has grown into a STEM.org accredited educational experience and trusted partner for schools, foundations, and institutions across Jamaica and the Caribbean.
From the beginning, we’ve focused on more than just exposure—we build sustainable systems that support educators, engage students, and create lasting impact.
How we started
STEM Builders Learning Hub was founded by Kavelle Hylton, a science educator, STEM advocate, and STEM Entrepreneur, in response to critical gaps she witnessed in the education system.
As a classroom teacher and STEM practitioner, Kavelle saw firsthand that many schools and communities lacked:
Practical STEM resources
Teacher training and ongoing support
Structured STEM programmes aligned with curriculum goals
“We don’t just inspire students — we build systems that last.”

Giving back through STEM- outreach Projects
At STEM Builders Learning Hub, our work extends beyond classrooms and contracts. We believe STEM education is a tool for empowerment—and we’re committed to bringing it to communities that need it most.
From the beginning, we’ve invested in outreach initiatives that make STEM accessible to underrepresented and underserved groups. These experiences shape our approach and strengthen our belief that quality STEM education should be available to everyone.
Our Community Work Includes:
- Career Days, School & Community Expos
- National Science and Robotics Events
- STEM Workshops
- Annual Beach Clean-Up
These equitable projects inform everything we do. By engaging directly with diverse learners and communities, we design programs and resources that are inclusive, culturally relevant, and rooted in real needs.
Giving back is central to who we are.
