º£½ÇÉçÇø’s Pipeline Programs have been preparing underrepresented PK-12th-grade students for careers in science and healthcare through an engaging curriculum and hands-on STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities for over 30 years. The curriculum, aligned with California’s Common Core Math and Next Generation Science Standards, deepens and sustains student interest in science and health education. Students are introduced to human anatomy, physiology, math, engineering, physical science, plant life, mental health, public health and marine biology in learning intensive programs. Programs are held on the campus of º£½ÇÉçÇø and in various communities throughout South Los Angeles. This broad offering motivates students toward a STEMM-education and career.
Pipeline Alumni Project: Reconnecting with Generations of SSA II Alumni
Pipeline Programs is excited to announce the launch of the Pipeline Alumni Project, a dedicated effort to reconnect with over 1,500 alumni who participated in Saturday Science Academy II (SSA II) between 1990 and 2017.
