Mission: Education in general, and STEAM in particular, is the gateway to children’s futures. Unfortunately, for some, this gateway is not accessible or inclusive, it does not meet their needs, and can have a long term negative impact on their future. Providing equitable access to STEAM enrichment programs allows every student to receive the positive benefits and opportunities made available through STEAM. Young STEAMers’ mission is to ignite the imaginations of under-served children by providing hands-on STEAM enrichment activities that inspire, educate, and empower. Through interactive and engaging experiences, we aim to bridge the educational gap and foster a lifelong love for learning among these young minds. Our passionate instructors not only teach but are also role models that help kids realize their dreams and maximize their potential.
