About us
STEAM ACHIEVERS is a Signature Program of S.N.A.C. Educational Services (STEAM National Achievement Collaborative), a 501(c)(3) organization.
STEAM Achieversā principal objective is to bridge the STEAM education, academic and career achievement gaps for diverse students, young adults and adults, including neuro-divergent individuals, individuals from under resourcedĀ communities and underrepresented communities, by providing unique, innovative, real-world experiences, training boot camps, media-acclaimed Hackathons, workshops, summer camps, mentorship programs, internship, apprenticeships and employment opportunities in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics fields.
Our Strategy
- Our hands-on curriculum strategically fosters exploration along with the excitement for learning and subsequently pursuing STEAM pathways among girls and boys ages 5-18, young adults and adults.
- Students build critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and collaboration skills through interdisciplinary, project-based learning activities that build interest and confidence in STEAM subjects in school and beyond.
- Designed to increase student motivation for further STEAM study, our multidisciplinary approach strategically helps students discover their potential for success in future STEAM careers.
- STEAM Achievers activities are aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Technology Applications and numerous TEKS for Math and Language Arts.
