The Ripken Foundation has teamed up with Delmarva Power to bring a state-of-the-art STEM Center to youth at Academia Antonia Alonso Charter School in Newark, Delaware.
Each Ripken STEM Center comes fully-equipped with the latest STEM education tools and technology, Ripken Foundation curricula, and furniture. Youth will have the ability to interact with innovative learning equipment like 3D printers, Sphero Bolts, and Ozobots, which teach STEM concepts in a fun and engaging way.
The Foundation sees the STEM education gap as an opportunity to apply key lessons from sports - teamwork, respect, communication, and resilience - to the classroom. An emphasis on collaboration and critical thinking shapes productive adults with the integrity to initiate positive changes in their communities.
