S.T.E.M. opportunities for all Using our E³ impact model
Team Genius Squad’s most important goal is to reach individuals who are visual learners, who may not be aware of S.T.E.M. or have limited access to S.T.E.M. We want to remind the world that we are all unique, intelligent, talented, creative, and innovative. Once an individual identifies their learning style, they can unlock their inner Genius and be the Genius they are! Hands-on S.T.E.M. activities can play a significant role in personal skills exploration. Most importantly, it nurtures creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication, which are the essential skills of the future.
