Project Title: #STEAMtheBlock Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Swaliga Foundation empowers BIPOC youth in Washington, D.C., through its #STEAMtheBlock program, which teaches Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) education through culturally relevant, hands-on projects. The Swaliga Foundation\u2019s #STEAMtheBlock program is a pioneering initiative in STEAM education. The program includes:
\n– Swaliga\u2019s original, evidence-based STEAM educational curriculum for K-12 students
\n– After-school #STEAMtheBlock clubs
\n– Cultural Exchange Program <\/p>\n
Founded by Lemond Brown, a visionary in STEAM education, Swaliga serves approximately 1,000 K-12 students annually, engaging them with a curriculum that merges technical skills with creative expression. Swaliga\u2019s innovative approach uses the arts as a lens to explore the STEM, build confidence, and connect students to potential career paths in STEAM fields.<\/p>\n
Funding will provide general support for the Swaliga Foundation\u2019s #STEAMtheBlock programming, which offers career and technical education (CTE) to D.C. youth in under-represented diverse groups. Grant support helps us continue to offer our program at no cost to families. The cornerstone of Swaliga\u2019s programming is our afterschool #STEAMtheBlock club. During the 2024-2025 school year, the Swaliga Foundation has clubs at eight K-12 public schools in Wards 7 and 8 of Washington, D.C., including five high schools, two middle schools, and one elementary school. This investment will directly benefit approximately 1,000 students who will receive in-person STEAM education after school for one hour each week throughout the school year.\n<\/p>\n
