JAX-NCNW STEAM committee (Jacksonville Section National Council of Negro Women) will be offering a FREE Coding Workshop for kids 5-12 years of age. JAX-NCNW looks to introduce STEAM opportunities to school age children by engaging in conversation, offering curriculum of basic coding through play, and by leveraging the knowledge acquired by senior level facilitators to assist in transferring to others.This activity will expose students to computer science and the programming language Scratch.
Jacksonville Section National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) seeks to establish a more comprehensive, integrated response to the need for science, technology, engineering and mathematics education for communities of color. In recognition of the fact that economic stability and career opportunities are enhanced by familiarity with STEAM, NCNW believes it is important to cooperatively plan for and implement measures that will provide greater awareness of STEAM careers and greater access to the paths to those careers.
We are committed to creating strategies to address and eliminate the barriers that artificially limit STEAM opportunities in the work place and in the classroom for many hard-working American families.
