Mentors and Mentees reconnecting during our first day back at Central Park Middle School!

Last week, STEP mentors and mentees built marble roller coasters!

Last week, the activity of building balloon cars was a success! STEP students enjoyed racing them in the classroom!

Last week, mentors and mentees built Archimedes Screws and tested different designs!

Last week, STEP mentors took the time to destress with our STEP mentees through coloring books and snap circuits!

In our last week before winter break, STEP mentors and mentees enjoyed learning about fractions through delicious pizza.

To start off the year, last week Thursday we launched our first collab with SeaPerch to begin a robotics competition at Mont Pleasant!

Last week Tuesday, we visited Central Park for the first time in 2023 to introduce the collab with SeaPerch to build teams for the underwater robotics competition!

Last week, we began soldering on our circuit boards at Central Park and cutting PVC pipes at Mont Pleasant to build our robot!

This weekend, we had a successful workshop with Union College IEEE working with speakers!

STEP and CSTEP made it possible for students to be the first person in my family to pursue a college degree. Please increase CSTEP/STEP funding by 20% and continue the state’s investment in our future engineers, scientists, healthcare & other technical professionals.

Look at the amazing things we do Union College STEP!!!

We built cars with clay, cardboard, tape, and balloons!

We made different designs of Archimedes Screws!!!

We helped them through the topic of fractions using pizza slices!!!
