STEMulate Change for At-Risk Youth

Forum to Advance Minorities in Engineering, Inc. (FAME, Inc.) wrapped our 2018 STEMulate® Change Summer Sessions with a Culmination Ceremony that took place on Thursday, July 26^th at John Dickinson High School. Summer Sessions for STEMulate® Change students (grades 4^th to 6^th) were held from Monday, June 18^th in through Thursday, July 26^th. Daily sessions took place from 8am to 3pm, Monday through Thursday. 2018 marked the second year FAME, Inc. was able to offer our six week Summer Sessions for STEMulate® Change students. During the summer of 2017, FAME, Inc. launched the program for students in STEMulate® Change. The six week Summer Sessions were a highly successful pilot program and in 2018, the program was replicated throughout the summer months while students were out-of-school. FAME, Inc. was not only able to continue Summer Sessions for STEMulate® Change, we were also able to grow the program 50% from 60 student enrolled in 2017 to 90 enrolled students in 2018!

In addition to wrapping the 2018 Summer Sessions, STEMulate® Change is falling into our autumn program schedule. On Thursday, September 27^th FAME, Inc. attended the Baltz Elementary School’s "Back to School Open House" celebration to promote STEMulate® Change sessions. School year programming for Baltz Elementary students (grades 4^th and 5^th) will take place during after-school hours two times per week. Sessions will be held from October, 2018 in through December, 2018!
