Northern New Mexico

To that end we develop and deliver exciting, mentor-fueled, hands-on, STEAM programming in K12 classrooms in Northern New Mexico. We recruit and train college-age mentors, encourage K12 students to recruit mentors into their lives, and support K12 teachers through focused Communities of Practice. Our key partners are STEM Santa Fe, Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation, The Computer Science Alliance, and Moving Arts Espanola.

These schools offer a diverse range of STEM-focused programs, helping students develop skills in science, technology, engineering, and math through innovative and experiential learning approaches.

Undergraduate and graduate students from all departments at UNM are invited to apply for a $5,000 research grant to undertake interdisciplinary research related to resilience in New Mexico. Students are encouraged to develop the research project in partnership with an external UNM entity, such as a community group, Pueblo or Tribe, business, management agency, or non-profit, to address a real-world problem facing that group.

Fab Lab Hub has partnered with the Santa Fe Business Incubator [SFBI], to expand the Archimedes makerspace into a Fab Lab in the Fab Lab Network that was founded at the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms. We will be providing job shop services for 3D Printing, CNC machining, laser cutting and marking, vinyl cutting and CAD design. Students who take our Digital Badge courses will be eligible to apply for paid internships in the job shop.

Girls Inc. of Santa Fe is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering girls from ages 5 to 18 through programs that promote leadership, confidence, and academic achievement, particularly in areas like STEM, arts, and advocacy. Their mission is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold by providing them with the tools and support they need to navigate economic, social, and gender barriers. STEM & Academic Enrichment: Girls Inc. offers a variety of programs aimed at fostering interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Girls participate in hands-on projects, coding workshops, and science experiments, which encourage curiosity and problem-solving skills.

We train students in the areas needed to be ready for research (computer programming, mathematics, critical thinking). At the end of this educational pipeline we offer to pay them to spend summers doing research.
