Forum to Advance Minorities in Engineering, Inc.’s (FAME, Inc.) STEMulate® Change Outreach Initiative is in the midst of our Spring 2020 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programming session! We are currently serving 150 students in grades K-6 through six school sites. Site locations include: Heritage Elementary, Richardson Park Elementary, Warner Elementary, Mote Elementary, and Lewis Elementary Schools in addition to the Thomas Edison Charter School (TECS). Students participating in 6-week afterschool sessions have been learning about the STEM Icon, June Bacon-Bercey. Mrs. Bacon-Bercey was an American international expert on weather and aviation who worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Weather Service, and the Atomic Energy Commission. She is believed to be the first African American woman to gain a degree in Meteorology and was confirmed to be the first African American woman to be a televised Meteorologist.
All six school sites will continue to operate in through April/May. Once the Spring sessions close, STEMulate® Change will gear up for our 2020 6-week Summer session for students in grades 4-6. Summer sessions will begin on Monday, June 22nd and will conclude on Thursday, July 30th. Daily STEM lessons will take place from 8am to 3pm, Monday to Thursday. FAME, Inc. is looking forward to our upcoming 2020 Spring closing and Summer program start date!
