Fall is in the air and the Forum to Advance Minorities in Engineering’s (FAME, Inc.) CORE STEM Enrichment school year session is set to begin on Saturday, October 7th! The Fall to Spring school year session for 2017-18 will take place two Saturdays per month (the first and the third), for all enrolled students from 7th to 12th grade. STEM sessions will run from 9am-12pm at Alexis I. duPont High School in Wilmington, Delaware.
During the Fall to Spring school year session, FAME students will be engaged in rigorous Problem Based Learning (PBL) activities that focus on the following academic areas: 1.) English Language Arts (ELA), 2.) Mathematics, 3.) Technology, 4.) Science lecture, and 5.) Science lab. In addition to academic learning, students will also have the opportunity to visit local industry leaders to become introduced to real-life STEM professionals and careers. Last fall, FAME students were able to visit the Fraunhofer USA Center for Molecular Biotechnology in Newark, Delaware. This fall, our Program Director is reaching out to area industries so that our students can have a similar experience! Fortunately for FAME, we are lucky to have some of the world's top STEM companies at our doorstep, including, but not limited to The DuPont Company, AstraZeneca, Dow, and many others. In fact, all of these organizations have helped to support FAME and our efforts to provide STEM education to youth – thank you!
