A popular gaming software company in the Bay area participated in our ‘Full STEAM Ahead’ program donating over 550 science and art kits to a school that was 100% below the poverty line. The kits for the students are chosen by the teachers to compliment their curriculum and provide a fun and interactive way for their students to learn about science, technology, engineering, arts and math, or "STEAM", learning.
The company has a strong giving back component and wanted to include this with their meeting of 150 participants. The program included exercises on Diversity and Inclusion and this was clearly demonstrated in the exercise where they built and raced cars from kits that are similar to what the kids would receive in their classrooms. The highlight of the day was meeting a few of the kids from the school who are part of the STEM team. They had some exciting news to share that they had just won 1st place at the San Mateo County STEM Fair and would be going to the State Science Finals in LA later that month. It is because of partnerships like these, between profit and not-for-profit organizations, that opportunities are being created that are making a difference to the next generation today.
