STEMCAP
Facilitating multidirectional educational and learning opportunities between youth-in-custody, STEM professionals, and art communities.
WHAT IS STEMCAP?
The STEM Community Alliance Program (STEMCAP) offers inquiry-based and interactive STEM programming that brings youth-in-custody in contact with scientists, artists, and community educators.
We work to create opportunities for incarcerated youth to interact with these science professionals, bringing all participants together to explore their common ground. Our program offers a range of science presentations, art-science workshops, and experiential conservation projects.
Our Mission
STEMCAP’s mission is to provide pathways that broaden understanding and exchange between youth-In-custody and STEM communities.
Our goal is to empower youth-In-custody by providing ways for them to learn about and contribute to scientific communities while in the custody of the state, and into the future.
We aim to help students self-identify as learners capable of engaging in science and encourage them to contribute to a variety of fields of scientific inquiry, nature protection, and the STEM workforce.
