Dillard partnered with Verizon to offer this free immersive enrichment program to empower middle school students, 5th – 8th grades, in under-resourced communities to explore STEM subjects, learn problem-solving skills and gain exposure to career opportunities in technology fields.
Participating students will learn about design thinking, 3D printing, augmented reality and social entrepreneurship, in addition to receiving mentorship, access to next-gen technology and hands-on training. The workshop is inclusive and welcomes all genders and nonbinary youth. Designed to create a more diverse pipeline for future careers in STEM fields, no prior knowledge or experience is required.
