S.T.E.A.M. Hub

The S.T.E.A.M. Hub is a collaborative effort between Community Based Learning (CBL) and Fresno County Superintendent of Schools (FCSS), and is funded through an annual grant awarded by the California Department of Education (CDE). It is the intent of this partnership to establish and reinforce science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics education in Expanded Learning Opportunity Programs (ELOP) throughout Fresno County. This is done through a series of Community of Practice training sessions designed for a collaborative working environment with the goal to promote collective and hands-on learning, problem solving, and practical application, as well as resource sharing among Expanded Learning Opportunity Program leaders.
