Where LYF meets STEM

You can’t spell STEM without ME

“I am excited to be able to provide STEM programming to students.  It has always been important to me that mental health and self-care become embedded in the school curriculum. Despite the negative ramifications of COVID, I realized that I had a perfect opportunity to make a positive impact and design programming that supports social-emotional learning through STEM. The programming was developed around survival kits.  Each survival kit includes a digital fabrication project that we will complete together during a Zoom or in-person session.” - Andrea Fields, Founder & President

Our Goals:

Construct culturally relevant and personally meaningful projects

Teach students to communicate expressed ideas through project creation

Allow students to become more acquainted with the engineering design process

Improve students social-emotional development
