Teachers are bridging the gender gap in STEM.
Ms. Kelley did not start out in the workforce as a math teacher. In fact, she started in the insurance industry. It did not take her long to realize that the insurance industry was not the place for her before she went back to school and earned her mastered to teach college-level math. To learn more, check out this article.
Realizing that classes in the STEM curriculum were expensive and far from home, she decided to make something more available to young girls on the South Side, and that’s when Take Your Place, Inc. was born.

Key takeaways
- Young girls seem to be headed into the math and sciences more frequently. One math teacher wants to plant STEM in the minds of these girls too.
- Families have sought to create a program that helps young girls take interest in the concept. The math teacher wants to see young girls follow STEM to new heights of achievement.
- It is possible for these girls to advance into the academic field too. That represents a great opportunity for anyone who wants to enjoy math and science throughout their lives.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
