With our Outreach Programs, JERSEYSTEM works with schools and organizations to create after-school STEM Club programs for middle school girls in low-income, underrepresented communities.

JERSEYSTEM provides the following:

• Grant money:  We secure funding for the program using grant money from corporate partnerships and other sources.
• Curriculum:  We develop a curriculum suitable for a 10-session program. The curriculum includes instruction and hands-on learning, including all necessary kits and other materials.

Our current schools use the curriculum once a week as part of a 10-week after-school program. We offer content in the areas of coding, robotics, and chemistry — and continue to add new curricula and content!

• Program Instructors:  Working with local colleges and universities and volunteer organizations, we provide coaches at each program location that teach the short instructional portion of the curriculum, as well as support/mentor the students during the hands-on learning portion.
• Coordination: We work with school and/or organization contacts to coordinate classroom materials and other resources, Program Instructors, and scheduling to ensure a successful program.
• Community:  Our goal is to create an experience that schools and communities can continue to run year after year. Each program includes funds for an end-of-session celebration where students can showcase their work to families and the community. We also provide materials to communicate the value of JERSEYSTEM to families, if needed.
