Help These Bronx Students Attend a STEM Leadership Forum to Plan a “Mission to Mars”!

Six students from Bronx Alliance Middle School in Edenwald are raising money to attend the Envision Summer STEM Program this summer.

The six-day program will immerse these bright young Bronxites in the world of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) with hands on simulations and workshops as they plan for a “Mission to Mars.”

According to the program description, “Few fields are more important to the future of mankind than STEM—science, technology, engineering, and math—and few show as much promise for future career opportunities. Virtually all career fields today require a solid foundation of STEM, and that’s precisely why these are the fastest growing areas of study—and the reason that STEM professionals are in the highest demand throughout the world.”

To that end, the kids have a gofundme campaign to raise $11,200 to cover tuition, housing and other costs associated with the program so kindly donate or share this to help these kids.

If you all donated just even $1 we can get these kids there and ensure that they have a bright future!
