Through local and national partnerships, Club members take part in hands-on, activity-based STEM curriculum. Through these programs, youth explore science and technology with the use of legos, robotics, and other exciting mediums. Exposure to science, technology, engineering and math is critical during the tween years, when young people’s natural curiosity drives interest and builds capacity for success in these disciplines. Our current partnership is a San Diego based organization called STEM2Leaf Robotics.

Summer Brain Gain is a summer learning loss prevention program developed specifically for Boys & Girls Clubs.
