STEAM Box Education
STEAM Education - Bridging the Gap in Youth Programming
Youth programs across the United States have been implementing STEAM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) to help foster critical thinking skills and expose students to potential career paths. Here at Goodwill Industries of Eastern North Carolina, (GIENC®), we are excited to provide STEAM Education to our local partners by offering a STEAM Box Program. This program will offer youth hands-on learning experiences with digital problem-solving activities. The program’s primary focus is to increase access to engaging technology for young learners in our state by working with passionate professionals eager to bring new resources and enrichment to their communities. By partnering with GIENC, organizations can offer tailored learning experiences to their local communities and create a brighter future for all involved.
