The Hawaiʻi Afterschool Alliance (HAA) has created a STEM Program Incentive, a three-part STEM experience for afterschool educators working with K-12 youth. The HAA STEM Program Incentive aims to help Hawaiʻi afterschool programs build a bridge from the classroom to careers and increase the interest of girls, young womxn, non-binary youth, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander populations in STEM. This opportunity uses the following MGM resources:
  1. Activities from If/Then Collection, Next Gen STEM, and/or MIZZEN by Mott
  2. Virtual and/or in-person role model visits scheduled through HAA’s Role Model Directory
  3. STEM-focused family engagement event​

​Combining STEM activities, role model experiences, and family engagement in this way is an impactful approach for afterschool sites to introduce youth to STEM topics and break down barriers between students and STEM pathways.
To assess student and program level impact, programs who opt-in will have the opportunity to participate in data collection using Partnerships in Education and Resilience (PEAR) tools. Retrospective surveys will be administered to gauge the effectiveness of programming in developing a STEM identity among youth.  ​
