Learning STEM from Doing

Supportive: We incorporate hands-on experience. Our STEM internship program cultivates growth mindset. We incorporate interdisciplinary learning method to improve cognitive abilities and strong academic performance. We foster ingenuity and creativity. When interns test out theories in practice, their knowledge is strengthened. Hands-on learning teaches them to model the concepts. They will learn various iterations of a problem. Hands-on approach is a great way to develop a growth mindset

Group Learning: We prioritize collaboration and teamwork as they are effective measures for communication and improving leadership skills. Interns work in groups to learn team work and problem-solving skills. Risk-taking and 'lets try it and see' attitude encourages teamwork. Ability to discuss and convey complex concepts while learning from one another is the key to achieving growth. Group activity promote sociable skills like active listening, open-mindedness and to giving and receiving constructive feedback

Structure: Our structure is based on Enquiry, Engagement and Equity. We create opportunities for all students to receive accessible and high quality STEM training. Service learning experience increase STEM careers, improve civic engagement attitudes and awareness of local community issues and needs.

Innovation: STEM teaches critical thinking skills and instills a passion for innovation. It is an exploratory learning that fuel success across a variety of tasks. Critical thinking is the process of actively conceptualizing, applying, analyzing and evaluating information through observation, experience, reflection, reasoning and communication.

Inclusivity: To maintain United States leadership in Science and Technology, the nation must invest in new research and innovation infrastructures that include all people, regardless of their background. Many Americans are entering the workforce without a basic grasp of STEM facts and approaches. There is a critical lack of women, people with disabilities and African Americans who remain underrepresented in STEM. We are in dire need of STEM role models and leaders in STEM from diverse backgrounds. By 2060, Black and Hispanic youth will comprise nearly half of all U.S. school age children. However, STEM faculty from these backgrounds are currently scarce. This workforce representation gap is a threat, but it is also an opportunity for American STEM education and internship enterprises.
