Reclaiming STEM – Green Energy Technology in the City

In celebration of Halloween, the youth decorated cookies, aiming to raise awareness about climate change. Kids were encouraged to put messages or draw icons/images related to climate change on the cookies to make their messages clearer and more impactful. This creative endeavor not only engaged them in a fun activity but also sparked meaningful conversations about the health of our planet. They shared who they made the cookies for, wanting to tell their friends, families, and the bigger community about why climate change is important.

GET City Collaborative!

The GET City Collaborative provides sustained informal engineering design experiences for youth in Michigan and North Carolina. We focus on youth as Community Science Experts and support youths' powerful brilliance as STEM-rich makers as they seek to work towards justice in their maker clubs and communities. We provide youth access to advanced digital technology, science and engineering knowledge and practice, maker spaces, and a network of experts to advance their understandings of and interest in community sustainability, energy and engineering. Founded in 2006, GET City has provided learning, mentoring, and research opportunities to youth ages 10-18.
