Our national STEM program

GOATED was created in partnership with former NBA player Julyan Ray Stone and The Village – Kids. It’s where sports meet data science. Students learn to:
 

  • Use formulas and charts in Google Sheets

  • Master logic and problem solving

  • Code automated ranking systems

  • Debate and defend their GOAT using proof

This Semester's Impact

This is more than just debating players. Students are learning the same coding, data, and analysis skills used in tech, finance, sports analytics, and data science—skills that will help them succeed in the future.

  • 40 students across the U.S.

  • 500+ hours of coding and analysis

  • 1,200+ player comparisons

  • 100% of students gained new STEM skills
