An Incubator of Exellence
STEM Saturday transforms community centers into incubators of excellence, engaging over 100 scholars each month. Students, ages 7-16, join the DREAM Team for various STEM-based activities in their communities alongside peers and often community leaders. Students are guided through a hands-on project and receive a nutritious meal. We strategically partner to introduce scholars to mentors, community leaders, elected officials, STEM professionals and more.
