Why we‘re doing it
The community has a very basic understanding and knowledge of the jobs that are available within he realm of STEAM. Tech jobs are the future and we want to ensure our community has a fighting chance by engaging with them early and giving them the opportunity to experience the different aspects of STEAM and how they relate to jobs that are on the market. We also aim to tie the STEAM learning in with the 17 Sustainable Developmental Goals's, which focus on making the world a better place.
