Youth from several of Hampton's affordable housing communities will participate in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program on January 19th.  STEM is organized by the United States Military Academy at West Point Mathematics Department which is the oldest engineering school in the nation.  The workshop will challenge the youth with friendly competition with the building and programming of robots.  For more information, please see the press release and flyer.  We look forward to sharing photos of the Hampton event in the near future!
