K-SEA will be a long term (October- May) coding and entrepreneurship based course that is designed under the pedagogy of experiential learning. This course will be offered at little to no cost to middle school aged participants and will culminate in a pitch contest ("shark tank" style) and video game design prototype presentation. Throughout the program, we will host speakers from various STEM professions to share their experiences with the kids. We will also align each group with mentors who will follow the kids for the duration.
