The STEM Problem
Supporting Foster Love’s STEM Box program is crucial for introducing children in foster care to the wonders of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Many children in the foster care system face educational challenges, and we aim to show them how exciting STEM can be.
The STEM Solution
Our Virtual Service Projects offer safe and impactful opportunities for individuals to give back, regardless of their location. These projects demonstrate that families, friends, and colleagues from diverse backgrounds and places can come together to support children in foster care. Participate in meaningful service through enjoyable projects that not only bring joy but also transform lives.
