    Saturday Science Academy

    Our program exposes elementary thru high school students of color to STEAM subjects to cultivate interest in pursuing STEAM college majors and careers free-of-charge in an out-of-school environment. The program consists of two Saturday sessions per month from January through July. One Saturday generally is classroom instruction, where the students receive education on a designated STEAM topic. On the other Saturday, the students typically have a field trip to a science-related venue to expand and deepen their classroom learning experience.

    Ernest E Just Youth Science Program

    Implement a separate high school program tract for the Saturday Science Academy and Marine Science Camp. This will provide more extended and higher-level instruction with three to four topics over seven months for the Saturday Science Academy. The Marine Science component will be a separate 3-day session of marine science exposure at Catalina Island along with a 5-day program at Scripps Institute in San Diego. High school outcomes will be more successful with high school student on a separate tract from elementary and middle school students

    EE Just Youth Science Program

    Expand current elementary and middle school out-of-school program to add a comprehensive high school component. Current program has provided eight months of exposure to a wide range STEAM subjects for elementary and middle school students of color for over 10 years. Our objective is to establish an elementary to college pipeline of out-of-school STEAM instruction and exposure. These funds will be used to plan, build, and execute that comprehensive out-of-school STEAM program for high school boys and girls of color.
