The ”Tré S.T.R.É.A.M.” (Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Art,
Media) campaign is a community-focused initiative working to close the
socio-eonomic gap in the technology and engineering sectors especially as it
relates to Afro-Latinos and African-Americans students. Serving historically
underserved communities and with support from public and private
partners, Tré S.T.R.É.A.M. works to educate, inspire, and equip middle- and
high- school students with the skills and resources to pursue opportunities
in the science, technology, and engineering fields.
BECOME a hero!
Your support makes kids’ dreams come true.
Tré S.T.R.É.A.M. is “flipping the classroom” and expanding project-based
learning experiences in ways that historically underserved schools
have been unable to do. The initiative promotes 1) rigorous, verticallyaligned curriculum; 2) professional mentorship 3) career exploration;
4) field experiences; 5) teach sessions; 6) competitions and opportunity
for knowledge application.
