GLOBAL STEM SQUADS

Provide access to clean water and sanitation in rural underserved communities through applying STEM skills.

Bring International Experiential Service Learning Programs to Your Students through:

ONLINE HYBRID LEARNING

Online programs for STEM classes or clubs involve students in real-world community water system projects in Central America. Students work with our engineers and in-country learn and apply STEM skills in the process of preparing a community water system proposal to deliver potable water and improved sanitation in partner communities.

These 7-10 day custom group volunteer travel programs also incorporate cultural learning and enrichment activities.
