Started and run by high schoolers, EFFECTS seeks to make New Mexicans classrooms' STEAM experiences more enjoyable by providing entertaining experiments. Many kids lack the opportunity to love STEAM because injustice and inequality in the distribution of education. In Albuquerque, there are many schools that receive a designation known as Title 1. The APS website says "Schools must be identified at 50% or higher economically disadvantaged in order to receive Title 1 funds". We applaud APS for all steps taken to ensure equity for the children of our city. Unfortunately, inequality still runs rampant in our elementary schools where many have had to cut STEAM programs because of a lack of funds. What they can benefit from is not lectures and worksheets, but rather demonstrations and discussions of applications to the real world. We're not here to teach: teachers do that and they have done an excellent job of that. Our job is just to get New Mexican children excited about learning STEAM. High school students from across Albuquerque are committed to sharing their love for STEAM through fun experiments and demonstrations.
