Frankfort YMCA, Kings Community Center, and local businesses have limited space for kids to participate in summer camps. According to the National Science Foundation, STEM workforce represented 23% of the total U.S. workforce in 2019. This data shows that there will be a high need of STEM experts in the future. For this reason a A 4-day Robotics 101 program was created for cloverleaf 4-Hers out of school for summer break. 15 out of the 16 program participants were given a pre-survey measuring their interest in learning more about Science, Engineering and Technology projects. The response rate was 40% before the program verses 100% afterwards showing a 60% increase with their interest in learning more about STEM.
