SHI STEAM | SCIENCE, TECH, ENGINEERING, ART & MATH

Opening the Box: STEAM provides culturally-centered youth programming to students in grades 6-12 that is grounded in Indigenous knowledge and STEAM career connections. Students and teachers work alongside cultural specialists and professional researchers to build a deeper connection to the places they call home. Current and recently graduated high school students can engage in AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society) research projects, field internships, and professional mentorships to help them achieve their academic and career goals. Makerspace activities combine cutting-edge tools with Alaska Native values in classrooms, summer academies, and out-of-school clubs and events.
