STEAM Saturdays is a collection of educational programs delivered by Pitt students and offered to students in grades 3 through 8 at the Community Engagement Center (CEC) in the Hill District.
The programs aim to increase confidence, problem-solving skills, technology skills, and interest in STEAM careers through engaging lessons and hands-on experiences. In addition to the CEC in the Hill District, STEAM Saturdays take place in the Oak Hill and Bedford Dwellings housing communities.
In addition to STEAM Saturdays, the Gismondi Neighborhood Education Program supports a variety of summer STEAM programs offered at the CEC in the Hill District and throughout the neighborhood.
