Are you interested in making a difference in your community?
The Wyoming Afterschool Alliance is building a community of young people connected across different ages who are invested in one another through common STEM experiences.
We want to inspire learning where kids and their communities can explore STEM in ways that are meaningful and relevant to their daily lives. AND we believe that you can be a powerful role model and mentor for other youth who might not imagine themselves in college or even interested in STEM fields.
Are you working with youth this summer?
We invite undergraduate students who plan to work or volunteer with Wyoming youth to apply for the Summer STEM Fellows Program. Along with other undergraduates from a range of majors, you’ll gain practical experience designing and delivering activities that focus on art, math, creativity, making, and developing an engineering mindset all in a fun and hands-on way.
Accepted Summer STEM Fellows will participate in a learning community that will include in person and online professional development and mentoring. Upon completion of the program, each Fellow will receive a $1,000 stipend!
Join us at the welcome session to learn and play!
WYAA and the Innovation Wyrkshop will present an exciting one-day welcome session on Saturday, April 13 from 9:00-4:00pm at UW in Laramie where the new cohort of Summer STEM Fellows will have the opportunity to learn and play together. Prepare to be dazzled by the phenomenal Maryann Stimmer from fhi360! With her expert guidance, you’ll uncover the magic of math and discover how it’s not just numbers on a page – it’s part of our everyday lives. Lunch will be provided!
