The Moore Legacy Foundation, Inc. proudly operates the Next Steps Educational (NSED) Academy, a dynamic, student-centered technology program designed to empower youth with a passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). NSED Academy provides engaging, hands-on learning experiences that inspire innovation, critical thinking, and problem-solving among students from diverse backgrounds.

NSED Academy takes a collaborative, community-based approach by partnering with local colleges and universities, faith-based organizations, chambers of commerce, and regional school systems. These partnerships ensure that the program is deeply rooted in the communities it serves, offering accessible educational opportunities that meet students where they are—both geographically and developmentally.

Through a blend of short-term workshops and long-term programming, NSED Academy equips students with practical skills in emerging technologies and digital literacy, helping them explore academic pathways and career opportunities in STEM industries. This initiative is an integral part of The Moore Legacy Foundation’s mission to close opportunity gaps, foster educational equity, and prepare the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators.
