About Us

Helping Children Make Sense of the World

What started as a vision of a 35-year veteran teacher and principal, has now developed into a global organization uniting partners to drive gains for learners, families, communities and the economy at large.

TIES is dedicated to making STEM - a powerful force for economic mobility - accessible to everyone, especially underserved and underrepresented learners.

It's All About Connection

After 20 years in business it’s still about connecting the people and building the field.

We believe in the power of collaboration.

We are responsive to economic issues.

We keep the pulse on evolving trends in technology and education.

Our own story is irrelevant. Our story is reflected in the children and those who are involved in the work we do.

– Jan Morrison, Founder, TIES

Opportunities for All

We are dedicated to making STEM accessible to everyone, especially underserved and underrepresented learners.

We believe STEM is a tremendous force for social mobility and equity.

We believe a quality STEM education is the right of every child and learner in our country and is possible with the proper tools and inspired leadership.
