WYF STEM Innovation Industry Pathway: Final 2024 Workshop

YOUTH AGES 6 - 24 ARE WELCOME!

WYF's STEAM Innovation Industry Pathways (SIIP) program is an out-of-school-time monthly program designed to bridge the gap between academic learning, innovation, entrepreneurship, industry, and digital skilling.

Open to youth ages 6 to 24, SIIP is not your typical youth learning program—they are gateways to a world of innovation and meta-skilling, offering a dynamic range of skills, including design thinking, strategic project management, soft skills development, digital skills development, and industry application.

SIIP occurs on the last day of each month, from April to November 2024.

In 2025, SIIP restarts in March 2025 - November 2025.

We will host a Zoom virtual kick-off meeting in February 2025.
