STEM Enrichment Volunteer Program
Davidson College and The Ada Jenkins Center

Mission Statement
The goal of STEM Enrichment is to perform engaging, fun science activities and experiments with Ada Jenkins students in hopes of instilling in them an appreciation for STEM. We hope this early exposure to interesting, relevant scientific concepts will foster students’ identities as scientists and depict the importance of science in everyday life. Our program’s purpose aligns with that of LEARN Works as we uphold principles of explaining and guiding experiments through engaging practices, while also allowing for independent discovery and curiosity. Additionally, we use models and hands-on activities to promote an interactive learning environment that allows students of varying learning styles to thrive.
