Here is an update on what some of District 5710’s clubs are pursuing for the 2014-2015 STEM education vocational initiative.

·        Western Johnson County is considering sponsoring a Big Brother Big Sister robotics team and STEM job shadowing/mock interviews for BIGS.

·        Leavenworth has established an interdisciplinary team of Rotarians and non-Rotarians to discuss collaborative STEM projects with a regional impact.  Participants include the University of St. Mary’s, Kansas City Community College, and the Leavenworth Public Library. 

·        Overland Park South already sponsors a mentorship program at Southwest High School in robotics where 85% of the participants are young women.  The club also sponsors Blue Valley CAPS scholarships where 3 out of 4 scholarships go to young women pursuing STEM careers.
