Sometimes, all it takes is one hands-on activity to help a child discover something they love. 🧪

Early access to STEM experiences gives kids the chance to think creatively, solve problems, and imagine futures they may not have seen before. ✨
Thanks to support from our United Way Emerald Coast grant, including funding from Choctawhatchee Electric Cooperative, Inc. (CHELCO), we’re able to provide FREE STEAM outreach programs to children served by Youth Village, Inc., Fresh Start for Children and Families, and Opportunity Place, Inc..

We’re proud to help make science accessible, engaging, and full of possibility for every child. 💚

Today, we remember and honor those who served. ❤️ Wishing our ECSC families a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸
