Preparing Kids for Tomorrow’s Opportunities
Three years ago, Club 33’s STEM Committee launched an initiative designed to inspire young people to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education, and to expose them to career possibilities in that sector. Learn how the program has grown, and see, LIVE, how it is teaching students skills such as programming and engineering that they’ll need in tomorrow’s workforce. Teams from Adams and Rosa Parks Elementary Schools will showcase their robotics prowess in response to challenges issued by “Phet” Pease (2014 Middle School Teacher of the Year), who also will comment on the value of this and other Rotary-sponsored STEM programming.
