Welcome back to the monthly newsletter from STEM from Scratch! It’s been some time since our last gathering. In case you haven’t heard, STEM from Scratch is a non-profit organization that has just been relaunched. The new direction is now in the hands of high school students in Ontario who are enthusiastic about STEM and intend to connect with others through monthly newsletters covering STEM-related subjects and intriguing scientific and mathematical themes.
What can you anticipate from STEM from Scratch?
STEM is a swiftly evolving and continually changing domain, and our team’s primary objective is to enhance accessibility for all through this organization. Our strategy is to boost awareness of opportunities, workshops, and activities that delve into various aspects of STEM for students. Through this initiative, we aim to assist students in discovering practical experiences in their chosen fields while nurturing their passion for science and technology with stimulating activities. We will also provide resources for the diverse areas of STEM to broaden our readers’ understanding while helping them pinpoint which specific STEM topics resonate most with them.
So, what will this concretely involve?
Excellent question! We have a plethora of initiatives planned for you. One project we intend to launch involves hosting events, such as coding and/or math workshops primarily aimed at younger students in elementary school and within our team’s local community. We are currently watching for exciting opportunities like hackathons for computer science, math competitions, and interactive workshops focused on health sciences. We will ensure these events extend beyond our team’s current location to wherever our readers reside! We believe these experiences will provide a fantastic way to engage with STEM and chase your passions.
