(Fargo, ND) -- The Boys and Girls Clubs of the Red River Valley is getting a bit of a boost when it comes to their STEAM curriculum.
The BGC says they've received $7500 from the FM Area Foundation to support the existing 'Mindworks' programs at seven of their locations.
"Given our complex and changing world, we need citizens who are critical thinkers and problem solvers to meet our modern challenges," said the Club in a statement released to WDAY Radio. "Learning 'STEAM' builds the knowledge and skills needed to tackle problems systematically, including the abilities to sift through information, draw reasonable conclusions, make decisions based on evidence, and come up with creative solutions."
The program, which focuses on science, tech, engineering, art and math, aims at focusing on student-centered enrichment using collaborative activities and materials for youth in the area.
