Sometimes I walk into the Gene Haas Foundation STEAM Innovation Center, and I wish I had a place like this to come when I was a kid!

With almost 30 different modules to experience, our members are exposed to a huge variety of fields centered around a STEAM Career Area. Over the course of 7 weeks, under guidance of a dedicated STEAM coordinator and trained Youth Development Professionals, they complete hands-on experiments and engage with new technology.

This summer has been full of STEAM fun for our members from elementary to middle school ages. They have been learning everything from wood shop (and how to use a ban saw safely, as seen above), to criminology basics, to health science, and so much more.
