The need for app developers is increasing as an online presence (most commonly on cell phones) is necessary for the success of any business.  Early learners of app development can easily transition to experts in the field.   As part of the STEM 2023 Innovator Fair, participants will have the opportunity to design apps for their own business, competing with peers.

Using gamification to drive engagement in coding is a fun way to modernize traditional lessons.   Building and coding robots opens new avenues for participants' creative expression, enhances their critical thinking, and improves their creative problem-solving skills. 

Preparing youth for their future in STEM would not be complete without AI training.  Participants begin their experience with artificial intelligence through immersion. Diving into technologies to test, train, and create models of machine learning allows them to understand and apply their skills in the future to address real-world problems.
