Juxtopia is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 2000 by Dr. Jayfus Tucker Doswell, with a mission to bridge the gap in STEM education for underserved and disadvantaged minorities. The company's slogan "Empowering underserved and disadvantaged minorities to excel in STEM through innovative research and development" reflects its commitment to this cause.
The organization focuses on conducting comprehensive research and development activities to create effective learning tools and educational approaches tailored to the needs of underserved and disadvantaged minority groups. Juxtopia aims to increase the participation of these minorities in pursuing PhD degrees, contributing to STEM careers, and establishing STEM-related businesses.
In 2015, Juxtopia received a Seed Round investment from EMERGE CoLab, powered by TechNexus Venture Collaborative. This funding has been instrumental in advancing the organization's mission and expanding its reach.
With its dedication to empowering minority communities in the STEM field and the support of strategic investors, Juxtopia is positioned to make a lasting impact on the educational landscape and the representation of minorities in STEM-related professions.
