The Problem
Many students facing homelessness have limited access to STEM enrichment activities, whether through after-school classes, materials, or family educational background. Without these entry points into STEM, it becomes difficult for these students to develop the confidence or excitement to explore science or engineering fields, and these subjects often feel inaccessible or out of reach for these students. Additionally, low-income and housing-insecure students are often part of communities most affected by pollution, energy costs, and environmental challenges, yet they have the least access to energy and climate education. Without these opportunities, these students are excluded from being active participants in building a cleaner and more sustainable future.
