The STEMentors eLearning Program is now recruiting afterschool sites across the state to participate in the upcoming Fall 2021 Semester sessions!
The STEMentors program provides afterschool sites with high-quality educational experiences focused on science, technology, engineering, and math. These STEM-related experiences are led via video conferencing by off-site eMentors (UNL undergraduate student), while a frontline instructor at the afterschool site helps lead the activities. A variety of courses are offered for students in grades Kindergarten – 8th grade and include Digital Storytelling with Scratch Jr., Robotics, Engineering with Nanoscience, and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning!
To learn more and to register, go to https://4h.unl.edu/stementors. The registration deadline for the Fall 2021 semester has been extended to August 20!
As our Extension colleagues across the state, we ask for your help in the following ways:
1) Promote the STEMentors eLearning Program to Afterschool Programs in Your Community

2) Consider Hosting a STEMentors eLearning Program for 4-H Youth in Your County
The STEMentors eLearning Program does not need to only be joined from an afterschool program in a school setting – it can also be hosted at an Extension Office, too! Local donors (businesses, foundations, etc.) may also be interested in covering the cost of the program, as it brings STEM education to the youth in the community.
Let us know if you have any questions!
Thanks!
