Country: USA
|
Location: Chula Vista
|
Total Budget:
$1,000
|
Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy
Activity Type:
Education: Literacy
Summary: The purpose of the funding will be to enrich and enhance the STEAM Program at the Y Academy, a full day, M-F, intersession program and Character Builders program in the Chula Vista Elementary School District.
|
The goal is to expand the STEAM Initiative through the Y Academy and Character Builder programs to serve more kids and families and helping to improve academic achievement and reduce school break learning losses. Curriculum in both programs focuses on STEAM Initiatives and Makers Stations are needed to organize and store supplies. The Character Builders and Y Academy programs provide life changing experiences that give children opportunities they may not have in school or in family time. If provided, a large rotary sticker will be permanently affixed to the STEAM Makers Station(s). The needs we have identified are: a) to provide scholarships for our Y Academy program to kids so they may improve academic achievement, run, jump, play, and laugh with friends during school breaks and b) to purchase a much needed STEAM MAKER STATIONS ($500-$700) for the Academy campus and as a sustainability option, for the each of the 21 Character Builders campuses.
