STEAM POWER

An afterschool social-emotional and academic enrichment program

Project Overview

  • STEAM POWER links core subjects (English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics) with hands-on activity-based academic assistance and Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math (STEAM) academic enrichment activities. 
  • Innovative project-based modules are used to draw on young people's interests and peer networks by connecting activities to a combination of school-based lessons and real-world scenarios. In addition to academic achievement, STEAM Power activities encourage pro-social interaction with peers, which provides opportunities for character building and enhancing conflict resolution skills in a safe environment. 
  • Resources and engagement activities are also available for parents and families of participating students.
