Everyday STEM Saturday
Micro Mission: think, code, create, protect
Everyday STEM Saturday is a hands-on enrichment program that introduces middle schoolers to computer science, cybersecurity, robotics, engineering, and career exploration in a single engaging weekend session. This first session uses BBC micro boards to teach physical computing: how devices sense, process, decide, and respond to the world around them. Students spend the morning building executive-function skills, exploring cybersecurity basics, and learning core programming logic before applying it all to a real design challenge: building their own Smart Safety Device. They leave with a working prototype, a taste of the engineering design process, and a clearer view of STEM careers.
