Transform the Lives of Wyoming Youth with SAE and AmeriCorps

Save to Favorites

Did you know...

that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 2019-29 employment projections show that occupations in the STEM field are expected to grow 8.0% by 2029, compared with 3.7% for all occupations? That's less than 5 years away, and that's why we need your help in transforming STEM education across the state of Wyoming.

Research proves that early access to STEM education can boost confidence, increase achievement, and ignite potential. STEM programming that is designed to help students build STEM proficiency and gain skills necessary to succeed in the innovation-focused twenty-first century job market is essential. Opt-in programs and those that start in secondary school often only capture those students who have already identified an interest in STEM subjects, thereby excluding many marginalized "at promise" populations, including women and minorities.

What we do:

Valued for its ability to bring inspiration, accessibility, and equity to STEM education, the SAE International A World In Motion (r) (AWIM (r)) program is highly regarded for its unrivaled efforts to increase teacher/volunteer confidence and competence to facilitate STEM learning. Through fun, hands-on activities, AWIM heightens STEM interest and understanding while also preparing students for real-world scenarios. As a new AmeriCorps program through funding from ServeWyoming, SAE needs members like you to help shape the engineers of the future.

SAE and AmeriCorps:

"Serving through AmeriCorps allows you to get to the heart of what people and communities need, and see the positive outcomes of your own contributions... the most rewarding aspects of my experience cannot be overstated. In my ten month program, I was rewarded with new friends, countless new skills and abilities, clarity about my passions and direction in life, confidence, new perspectives, and so much more."

- Victoria Wiseman, AmeriCorps Alum
