Educating middle and high school students in STEAM and beyond
The ERIE21 Youth Program provides middle and high school students with hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) programming and activities. Our mission is to equip them with a diverse set of technical skills and experiences, making them well-prepared for both academic pursuits and real-world challenges.

- Why I enjoy being a part of ERIE21:
As someone who grew up in the city, attended, and has worked with the public school system, I have firsthand experience with the challenges that many face, including limited access to resources, educational opportunities, and extracurricular activities. Working with an organization that seeks to empower students with technology skills and other valuable resources is personally meaningful because I understand how transformative such opportunities can be. By introducing students to coding, robotics, and engineering Erie21 is doing more than teaching skills. It’s giving them the tools to envision and build a future filled with possibilities! I want to be a part of their mission because I believe in the power of education and technology to change lives.
