Our Program’s Commitment

Through our partnership with the IEEE Oakland-East Bay Section, TryEngineering, and Glad Tidings, we are dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. Here’s why this program is unique:

Mentors Who Care: STEM professionals from your community will guide your child every step of the way.

• Hands-On Learning: Engaging activities like designing bridges, building robots, and creating LED circuits make learning exciting.

Equity in Education: Our goal is to provide access and opportunity to all children, particularly those in underrepresented communities.

We understand the vital role parents play in their child’s success. During the event, you’ll:

• See firsthand how STEM activities boost confidence and teamwork.
• Learn about free and affordable resources to continue your child’s STEM journey.
• Meet other parents who share the same goal of empowering their children.
