Our History

Infinite Capacity (formerly STEM Integrations) was established in 2020 as an educational consulting firm to support school and district leaders in building equitable and robust PK-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM/STEAM) educational programs for 21st century learners.

For several years, Rachel Geesa and Krista Stith used their experience and knowledge in educational leadership and integrative STEM/STEAM to collaborate on projects at their university. These projects resulted in research studies and publications to guide educational leaders- teacher leaders, principals, directors, superintendents- in navigating innovative programming that prepares diverse populations of students for success in a global, scientific, and technologically-driven society.

Their research identified the need for educational leaders to have access to professional learning opportunities in building and sustaining integrative STEM programs. Infinite Capacity was developed to provide impactful strategies from their expertise in the field and experience of others to contribute to educational initiatives around the world. 

Our Mission

We collaborate with leaders in education to create and deliver educational solutions to multi-tiered challenges through integrative STEM/STEAM education strategies that fit the needs, goals, and cultures of educational programs and support equitable access for student success in 21st century knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

Our Commitment to Equity

Diversity enhances the resilience of social and environmental systems. We are committed to social justice in educational programs that support all educators and students and to the dismantling of social inequities, discrimination, low expectations, cultural bias and insensitivities, and maladaptive practices. We are committed to promoting educational programs that are socially responsible and apply inclusive practices to address these systemic problems and provide a safe space for educators and students to belong to and thrive within.
