The 10th grade school members of the STEM Impressionists Abia, Aya, Emanda, Kelly and Lidya attend four different high schools. On Saturday, February 9, 2019 they were 1 of 3 teams awarded the2019 SWENext DesignLab Community Engagement Award. Building on the success of their middle school cohorts, Yabesra and Mera, the team proposed a project that will expand on the success of the 2018 Hour of Code event.
Their objective is to expose and prepare students to participate in STEM clubs once they attend middle school; to give students a positive STEM experience that will fuel their thirst for knowledge about STEM later in their educational careers, and to give students access to STEM materials so that they can continue to explore STEM activities at home, on the weekends, and over the summer.
