Team Genius Squad’s mission is to support all learning styles and levels by providing visual-based educational activities and products for all age groups based on STEM concepts. Our goal is to promote STEM awareness, its positive impact on critical thinking, math, and reading literacy, and cultivate the next generation of leaders. Through interactions with Ava The STEM Princess® aka Ava The STEM Ambassador™, and her team, we combine fun and creativity to help others learn and understand basic STEM principles, entrepreneurship, how it impacts the world, and reinforce the message of never letting your challenges define your future!
The Literacy & STEM Experience program travels to organizations across the United States to share the fun educational connection between literacy and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Participants will learn about basic STEM principles and hear details about the learning journey of 9-year-old Ava N. Simmons aka Ava The STEM Princess® aka Ava The STEM Ambassador™. Ava will share the positive impact she experienced using STEM activities to improve her critical thinking, math, and literacy skills, which helped her overcome her reading challenges. She will read excerpts from her self-published illustrated children’s book entitled, “Ava Discovers her Inner Genius Using STEM” and conduct hands-on STEM experiments with participants. Participants receive a free lab coat, protective glasses, nitrile non-latex gloves, STEM Activity Books, Team Genius Squad Certified Genius Badge, and other great STEM swag. Ava and her Team Genius Squad assistants will combine fun and creativity to help children learn the importance of literacy and STEM, and to share her message to never let your challenges define your future!
