This amazing 3-day STEAM experience would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. A huge thank you to McKinney Economic Development Corporation, Four Winds Staffing, McKinney East, First United Bank, Raytheon Technologies and The Alliance of Elite Youth Leadership for believing in the potential of our young people and making this opportunity a reality. It’s inspiring to see our community come together to invest in the future of our students. To many more Camp Futures! #Briidgethegap #FuelTheFuture

Back in February, @theangelokolie hosted a STEMulate workshop on "Art-As-A-Business to educate our youth on tangible pathways to monetize their creativity. Full Video on BTG Youtube.

What an incredible journey STEMulate turned out to be!

A huge shoutout to our amazing sponsors, McKinney BHM and Love Life Foundation, for making this possible. The community’s support has been overwhelming, and we’re thrilled to announce another 5-week STEMulate cohort is on the horizon. Stay tuned for more innovation, creativity, and empowerment! #STEMulateSuccess #ThankYouSponsors #FutureEntrepreneurs

We're excited to share the success of the STEMULATE series finale. This session marked a pinnacle in our series, since students applied their knowledge to create and pitch their own business ideas, complete with prototype websites. Their presentations, almost like Shark Tank, highlighted their budding entrepreneurial spirit and innovative concepts. This event was a milestone in blending education with real-world business application. As we move forward, we remain committed to fostering an environment where young minds can continue to merge science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with the dynamic world of business. #Entrepreneurship #Innovation
