      <image:caption>Title: STEM Technology Expansion for Youth Grant Amount: $10,000 Reach: 129 youth in grades 1–10 Project: Purchased robotics kits, 3-D printers, podcasting equipment, and technology upgrades to enhance daily STEM programming. Impact: Youth designed 3-D printed objects, learned coding through robotics, and produced mock podcast episodes—experiences that built confidence, creativity, and emerging career interest. The upgraded program increased engagement and helped retain and recruit members. Why It Matters: Access to hands-on STEM learning opens doors for young people, especially in rural communities. This grant helped students explore new skills and envision future pathways in technology, engineering, and digital media.</image:caption>
