Each We Love STEM Chapter is named after an influential woman in STEM, including the following below:

We’ve made adjustments to our curriculum plan for the 20-21 school year, which now includes App Development, Competitive Math Training, Java, Python, and instead of Conics, Web Development and continued building our curriculum for each unit. The school year will be divided into 3 separate units, from Oct-Dec, Jan-March, Apr-June.

Among the Executive Team, we held a board meeting and discussed marketing strategies and future plans for We Love STEM. To keep parents in the loop and Parent Info Meeting on 9/26, where we explained what our mission is, what the school year will look like, Chapter schedules, and a Q&A.
