STEM-Gineers Spark Interest in Girls and Computer Science!

My students need SparkFun Inventor’s Kit because it is a great way to introduce elementary kids to circuit boards and programming with the Arduino programming language.

My Students

STEM-Gineers is an after-school program designed for third through fifth grade girls and focuses on developing students' interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines.

Our aim is to empower underrepresented girls to pursue STEM-related career pathways.

As the largest Title I campus in our district with an ever-growing bilingual population, our students are faced with unique challenges that limit their life experiences, background knowledge, and academic understandings. These circumstances become a significant disadvantage when it comes to academic performance and eventual graduation rates. With more than 60% of our students considered at-risk, we are faced with obstacles that compel our teachers to advocate passionately for our students. While teachers on our campus are tremendously dedicated, we are limited in resources to provide innovative sessions that nurture passions in STEM disciplines.

STEM-Gineers addresses these concerns at the elementary level and focuses on girls, who often lose interest in math and science as early as fourth grade. We want to give them opportunities to create, tinker and explore, all the while building content knowledge through engaging hands-on experiences.

My Project

We need SparkFun Inventor’s Kit because it is a great way to introduce elementary students to circuit boards and programming with the Arduino programming language.

This project will help our STEM-Gineeers club focus on learning more about circuit boards, as well as basic programming and language.

Our students will explore and complete a series of circuit challenges that teach how to read sensors, display information on an LCD, drive motors, make LED lights blink, and more. No previous programming or electronics knowledge needed! Due to the limited experiences of our girls, having these resources will allow them to work with technology that they would not typically encounter.

Our STEM-Gineers are innovators and problem solvers; providing tools such as the Inventor's Kit will help them discover new concepts, develop 21st century skills, and direct their aspirations toward becoming scientists and engineers of the future.
