STEM Santa Fe is developing a new series of programs and events with and for Indigenous communities - the Indigenous Youth In STEAM- where we offer culturally appropriate, hands-on options for Indigenous youth. Programs help increase Indigenous student identification with STEM as a potential career option with a focus on digital justice storytelling.
