IMAGINE ABCs (Apprenticeship Builds Community)

2021 GIANT Selection

Abstract - 

This project is a collaboration of WYSE and community partners DREAAM (Driven to Reach Excellence and Academic Achievement in Males), and UNCC (Urbana Neighborhood Connections Center).

We believe it takes a village, starting with family. IMAGINE ABCs will build on the success of 2020-21 IMAGINE Family STEM Nights, engaging 5th-8th grade families to demystify engineering and barriers to STEM careers. Phase 2 will develop additional STEM Nights modules to fully represent GCOE’s engineering fields, disseminate curriculum online, and mentor new organizations to facilitate these IMAGINE modules.
