“and 12 students completed the website development course, creating two websites each, at a local community center. he 10-week STEM workshop began in 2019 and completed in 2020. In addition to the completed websites, the program addressed food in-security by providing food at each session. Upon completion, students received laptops awards and certificates. In the process of developing this program a number of high school students worked as volunteers. As a result of the Seattle City project, the GTLC community now has an invigorated interest in STEM and a sense of empowerment for STEM success. This impact directly affects the workshop participants, the host partner GTLC, and the minority business partner Nevzats Espresso. That impact reverberates to affect the surrounding community, family, and friends of those involved, as well as the community members we engaged with our outreach efforts. At the start of the Coders Club workshop, 64 of the participants surveyed strongly agreed that they enjoy participating in STEM related activities, 29 strongly agreed that STEM is personally important, and 29 strongly agreed that they identify with STEM. At the end of the workshop, those numbers grew to 100, 100, and 85, respectively. These numbers are based on the pre and post-workshop surveys the students took. Additionally, the host partner, Garfield Teen Life Center, received the customized curriculum and training materials to be able to continue to offer workshops.”
