Science, Technology & Culture (STC): Empowering Learners is a program to broaden the understanding, appreciation and use of technology in high-poverty communities, while offering youth a tremendous opportunity to enhance their scientific understandings and cultural awareness. The program focuses on the appreciation of technology and its application in scientific disciplines, as well as upon building cross-cultural relationships among young people. A primary goal of the program is to enhance each learner's scientific and technological literacy, self-confidence, communication skills, and global awareness. The STC program provides a profound educational journey of cultural exporation and self-discovery, which is oriented toward empowering learner and communities.
