Studies show that by the time students enter middle school, many of them, especially girls, lose confidence in their abilities to learn Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Providing fun, hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent at a young age, will provide a foundation to help every student remain confident in their STEM learning. At Cyber Garage, our mission is to help kids develop creative confidence, critical thinking, persistence, collaboration and communication skills, and to help enable the next generation of innovators.
