Project Title: Educational STEM Resources for Foster Youth
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
This program will provide 100 foster youth between the ages of 5 and 12 across the country with unprecedented access to age-appropriate, engaging, innovative, and educational STEM resources. Less than half of youth who have experienced foster care graduate from high school. Of that already small number, only 3% of foster youth will go on to graduate from college. TWR’s STEM box program works to address these challenges by providing foster youth with exciting STEM activities. Each box contains four science experiments that focus on the four elements of STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. We include a fun project for each of these areas, including a dinosaur dig kit, waddle bot, catapult, and tangram puzzle. Together, these activities demonstrate that STEM learning is exciting, innovative, and accessible. In addition to the science experiments, each box contains a special lab notebook, lab coat, safety goggles, name badge, and a complete lightbulb cup.<\/p>\n
By providing foster youth with these age-appropriate, interactive, and engaging STEM activities, we instill in these children a love and appreciation for learning. Research indicates that early engagement with STEM projects enhances critical thinking skills, strengthens communication skills, and encourages intuition. These skills are crucial as foster youth enter adulthood. Unfortunately, approximately half of foster youth exiting the system end up experiencing homelessness. These children often have no support system and have not been provided the same level of opportunities their peers have. The United States Bureau of Labor estimates that jobs within the field of STEM are expected to grow 13% between now and 2027, making this field ideal for the next generation entering the workforce. By creating a love for learning and an early appreciation for a stable field, TWR hopes to drastically change these statistics within the community.<\/p>\n
