Our elementary school has the honor of partnering with MENA-X, an organization started by our former student/a current high schooler of Middle Eastern North African (MENA) descent, to mentor students as they learn about STEAM and the contributions of the MENA region.
Since this is our first year offering this type of STEAM program, our school does not have any robotics kits for students to use.
MENA-X is a volunteer organization. They do not charge our students to participate, but they rely upon the school's resources and we do not have the equipment for students to learn coding through robotics.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
