About Kemet Educational Services

Kemet Educational Services (Kemet Education) is a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) educational consulting firm, established in 2010, that provides supports to community organizations, homeschool/parent groups and schools and school districts that want to create or enhance their STEM educational programs. The firm is named Kemet Educational Services in honor of Ancient Egypt, which is called Kemet in Egyptian and also refers to academic journals of Egypt. Many of the principles, symbols, theories and techniques that we use in modern day STEM (agriculture, architecture, science, engineering, medicine and pharmacy) come from Ancient Egypt. Therefore Kemet Educational Services seemed to be ideal for our mission. Just as Kemet is the foundation for modern day STEM, we believe that a strong STEM educational foundation expands the career opportunities for students.
