Envisioning the STEM Paths LAB

SPIN plans to build or renovate a facility including classrooms, administrative space, and a MakerSpace LAB in Kent to improve access to low or no cost STEM workshops and programs for the community and schools; provide culturally relevant educational support to close the opportunity gap for people of color throughout our region; nurture partnerships that support wraparound services to support the whole family (social, emotional, financial, and physical); create a true cradle to career place-based STEM center that will be a model for the region and the nation; and serve as the anchor for equity based workforce development in King County. The LAB will train emerging technologists and entrepreneurs; ready young adults for family-wage jobs; engage the imagination of preschool, elementary, middle and high school students; and offer culturally relevant programming.
