After the positive reflection exercise, the group separated to individually reflect and compose a poem, saying, drawing, or self-portrait. | |

STEM2Leaf Robotics workshops teach our Polster Club kids in Carmel Valley how to code, program robots, and create solutions. | |
Programming Robots To Move With STEM
This month our La Colonia Robotics Club members constructed attachments to give their robot newfound mobility. They created a claw that enables the robot to pick up and manipulate objects around the room with ease.
The robotics program run by STEM2Leaf Robotics has given students a valuable opportunity to learn about engineering and programming, all while having fun and working together as a team.

Naythan Chan
Volunteer Role(s):
STEM2Leaf Volunteer Since 2017 travelling to all 7 of our after school program sites.
"It’s important to me that all youth in our community have the opportunity from a young age to explore science and technology in a way that’s both engaging and empowering, beyond the classroom setting. I have found that STEM materials are often expensive and inaccessible to some in our community. That’s why I volunteer at BGC because it matters to me that our youth get exposed to key engineering and programming skills that will set them on the path where a career in science and technology can be a viable option."
