STEM wisdom
on the street

Bridging the gap between the cool, trendy, street stylist and the nerd, geek, intelligent scientist. We are out here trying to redefine what it means to love STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). To be part of a new generation of individuals who never quite fit in anywhere. Who were always in between. Who embraced the fact that they were smart but also could hang out with the cool kids. Making education fashionable. It is our new way of looking at the world of STEM.

What is Wise Atoms District?

  • Wisdom Inspired by STEM. Incorporating messages of inspiration and motivation - based on quotes from STEM scholars - into designs and prints that empower STEM enthusiasts. 
  • Fashion that Empowers Your Mind. Offering various products, from apparel to tech accessories and travel gear. There is an option for everyone to embrace their favourite STEM-inspired motivational print. 
  • The Knowledge Zone. A place to connect with STEMies and STEM wannabes. Use these empowered prints to up your street style game and drop your STEM wisdom on the street.

But it is also a way to make an impact.

A way to say yes I feel empowered by my knowledge and experience. To know that learning and education isn't just about books and studying but also opening yourself up to a whole new world of possibilities. To find inspiration within these facts. To say hey I get it, I enjoy it, and I'm proud to show it off.

Let's not forget that most science related merchandise screams basic. The well known images of beakers, ions, microscopes, and periodic tables. All cool and fun and well funny. But STEM itself is not basic. There is more to it than those standard images you see everywhere. It is complex and sometimes messy. It is doing research for years only to come up empty. It's working hard to produce in new ways and create something new and advance our current ways. It is in fact breaking the cycle, to come up with something different. So we need a way to show these differences, these new ideas and expressions.

BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT STEM.

Each design comes with an affirmation. A specific statement of empowerment to your innermost self. Pushing you to recognize what you already know about yourself and be empowered to embrace what you already know to be true about yourself. Embrace your wisdom, show your true self. Help you improve yourself, accept yourself, and achieve your goals. We use inspirational quotes from some well known scientists that will motivate and encourage you and help you to think more positively about your current circumstances. Find profound and powerful thoughts that can guide you through the testy waters of mundane everyday life. 

Empower yourself with STEM, be motivated with affirmations of knowledge. Use STEM ideas to your advantage and embrace all that is you. It's called stirring the narrative even if you have no idea how. You don't have to be a nerd to love it. Even those of you who are not in STEM can be inspired by STEM. It is not geared to just one niche and specific group of people. Those that want to love it can just love it. Positive affirmations influenced by STEM subjects. Spreading positivity and manifesting power with knowledge. REAL PROFOUND ENERGY.

What is STEM?

STEM is an acronym which stands for Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics. STEM is a broad term used to group together these academic disciplines. This term is typically used to address an education policy or curriculum choices in schools. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.

An exhaustive list of STEM disciplines does not exist because the definition varies by organization. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lists disciplines including architecture, physics, actuarial science, chemistry, biology, mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, computational science, psychology, biochemistry, robotics, computer engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, information science, information technology, civil engineering, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, astrophysics, astronomy, optics, nanotechnology, nuclear physics, mathematical biology, operations research, neurobiology, biomechanics, bioinformatics, acoustical engineering, geographic information systems, atmospheric sciences, educational/instructional technology, software engineering, and educational research.

Canada ranks 12th out of 16 peer countries in the percentage of its graduates who studied in STEM programs, with 21.2%, a number higher than the United States, but lower than France, Germany, and Austria. The peer country with the greatest proportion of STEM graduates, Finland, has over 30% of their university graduates coming from science, mathematics, computer science, and engineering programs.
