Education & Training
InnovaSTEAM PR, Inc.
Dr. Guzmán-Vélez is the co-founder of InnovaSTEAM PR, Inc., a non-profit organization, and co-director of the InnovaSTEAM Precollege Summer Program. InnovaSTEAM PR, Inc.’s primary activity is to provide academic programming and professional resources to students interested in pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM). This organization develops training and mentoring programs for students in STEAM at various career stages. These programs consist of activities such as seminars, mentoring, workforce development, networking, and supplemental education.
In 2025, we launched the InnovaSTEAM Precollege Summer Program, an in-person program in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Puerto Rico focused on neuroscience for high school students in grades 9 through 11 who are interested in improving society through science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM). Through the program, students participate in seminars and interactive activities (e.g., research laboratory experiments, presentations) to learn about STEAM careers, research methods, professional development, the college admissions process, and more.
