About
Y STEM and Chess

Y STEM and Chess Inc. (YSC) is focused on resolving two current social problems, by providing a unique 21st Century methodology to learning called “Mastery.” The first focus is on our society’s unfulfilled need for students with a firm learning foundation to pursue a life in the world of STEM. The second and the primary focus of YSC is fulfilling those needs, by working with the children of our socially and economically underserved population, to introduce and engage them in the world of STEM.

My son’s experience with Y STEM and Chess has been excellent! Devin is a great mentor and teacher of Chess for young women and men. I’ve watched as my son’s knowledge of the game, as well as his competitive spirit, increase under Devin’s tutelage.
