Vision Statement
Science Happens 4 Me is designed to enhance the learning potential of low-income, rural, and high functioning special needs students with scientific skills needed in the 21st century companies that enable students to complete and obtain employable skills in STEM-based careers. Science Happens 4 Me offers STEM-based activities and programs for underserved, minority, and disadvantaged students living within Research Triangle Park (RTP) Area and surrounding areas in North Carolina. Science Happens 4 Me offers summer programs for girls in STEM and a Basic Boot Camp for boys in Robotics throughout the school year.
Science Happens 4 Me Goals, Framework & Values:
Goals
- We aim to help underserved students break through systematic barriers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), by encouraging them to explore careers in those fields.
- Parental/guardian involvement is critical. We know that a student’s growth and development begin with the parental/guardian foundation. The core approach breaks into three dimensions that we call our core principles: Mentoring, Tutoring, and Field Experiences.
Values
- Integrity and Transparency
- Educational Excellence, Creativity & Flexibility
- Diversity & Inclusiveness
Given the significant, unmet demand, we are reaching out to a population of students in North Carolina, to expand the scope of our outreach for STEM-based career paths. Science Happens 4 Me is currently working on establishing a sound working relationship with local nonprofit community-based organizations to provide STEM-based after-school activities for their under-served student populations. This process enables local community-based organizations to provide instructional support, testing and access to STEM-based activities within their underserved student populations and community centers resulting in individuals in those facilities receiving exciting STEM-based access and mentors form local business and university officials.
