Empowering youth through art, science and technology to prepare them for the 21st century workplace
Highlights
STEMarts Bootcamps@HIVE
Starting in January we will begin a series of four Saturday hands-on STEMarts Bootcamps sponsored by UNM-HIVE. Each one is designed for a specific audience: The STEMarts Apprentice Bootcamp to train apprentices who will be leading subsequent Bootcamps; Explore space through VR for teens; STEAM VR for Teachers; and Become a STEMarts Ambassador. Bootcamps are led by guest artists, scientists and specialists through in-person/virtual workshop sessions. Learn more
Space Messengers@2022
The Space Messengers Immersive Mixed Reality (IMR) installation and STEMarts international youth exchange was presented in three festivals/countries in 2022 and engaged over 200 students in direct workshops, apprenticeship and ambassador programs. Through the Space Messengers curriculum, students contribute their 'space messages' which become part of the final installation. Through the festivals we had thousands of participants engage with the student-created installation. Learn more
Become a STEMarts Ambassador
We have expanded access to the STEMarts International program through our STEMarts Ambassador program. This program allows youth leaders ages 14-29 to join, receive training and become part of the Space Messengers team through out-of-school opportunities. STEMarts Ambassadors serve as VR station facilitators and 'Experience Guides' in person or as Avatars for the Space Messengers immersive installation touring the world. Learn more
