STEM Programs
Kids in STEM 2025
Our Girls in STEM program is an after-school club designed to help the young women in our community build confidence and get involved in the world of STEM. Are you or is someone you know a woman in a STEM field? If you’d like to support the next generation of amazing women in STEM, reach out! We’d love to learn from you!
Through hands-on activities and collaborative projects, the girls will not only learn how to make more eco-friendly choices but also gain a deeper understanding of the impact they have as consumers. Most sessions will feature interactive lessons with take-home products, and we’re excited to welcome guest speakers and industry experts to share their insights.

Learn it-Fix it-Make it!
Did you know the average American generates 4.9 pounds of trash per day? That adds up to a staggering 1,800 pounds per year! Nationwide, experts estimate the U.S. produces 292 million tons of waste annually. It’s clear we need to take action—for the health of our planet and future generations.
Our Learn It-Fix It-Make It Program empowers students and their families with practical skills to repair and restore broken items from home, all with the guidance of our dedicated and patient CSA mentors. This initiative brings impactful learning opportunities to the Columbia area through engaging "Fix-It Fairs" in schools and exciting community outreach events.
We’re thrilled to watch this program grow and make a difference throughout 2025 and beyond!
