TDP IGNITES STEM INTEREST IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF INNOVATORS!
We envision a future where every young person has a voice in STEM innovation.

WHO IS AMELIA DENNIS? 

  • The Dennis Project honors the life and legacy of founder Auntaria Johnson’s grandmother, Amelia Dennis. 
  • Despite significant challenges, Amelia raised five children, became a grandparent, earned her GED through night school and a bachelor’s degree in education, and became a Florida-certified teacher. She taught at schools in underserved communities in Miami-Dade county until her death in 1994.
  • A transformative changemaker, Ms. Dennis championed education and service—values that continue to shape TDP’s programs today.

WHY IT MATTERS
 
  • 85% of TDP’s services support neighborhoods with the greatest financial and educational needs.
  • 80% of future careers will require STEM skills, yet 70% of students in underserved communities lack access to high-quality, hands-on STEM learning at school.
  • 75% of girls had never considered a technology or engineering-related career, viewing those fields as boring or too difficult.
