STEM at Hostos

Hostos Professors Moise Koffi and Yoel Rodríguez share their inspiring journey to teach and encourage STEM education. They talk about the challenges many of the students they meet face when they start in school and later overcome. 

Their calling is to help students believe in themselves. In the words of Professor Yoel Rodríguez, “At Hostos, we prepare our students for the future.” 

Hostos has served over 4,000 STEM/STEAM students through mentorship, financial support, research studies and presentations, competition, games, films, and more. For 23 years, Hostos community college in the South Bronx has been at it, educating, transforming lives, and filling much-needed vacant roles in the STEM field.
