STEAM/ STEM Program

STEM/ STEAM

Every Saturday morning, for  five months, youth participate in a 2-hour STEM/STEAM learning programs. They work together on building robots, robot missions and activities that involve coding and programming facilitated by industry professionals and volunteers in the field. Participants also create posters and drawings to demonstrate the activities the robot is performing based on the problem and the solution. Youth perform team building activities, oral presentations, and participate in critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovative research to prepare for competing in statewide competitions. Our Title 1 school youth participants are part of a team that are encouraged to reach for the stars, think outside the box, and use their imagination to deal with real-life issues. Learning new skill sets, engaging in the activities and processes, while having fun to the key to unlocking their potential to explore STEM/STEAM professional careers.
