Autistic youth (ages 12-22) will explore and enhance their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) knowledge at their own pace within a self-guided, sensory-friendly environment.
The STEM Autistic Youth Collective, is a tech club dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for autistic children, teenagers, and young adults. Here, they can comfortably explore and enhance their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) knowledge at their own pace within a self-guided, sensory-friendly environment at no cost.
This program is presented by the Equitable Learning Technology Lab (ELTL), a research lab consisting of graduate and undergraduate students led by Dr. Nigel Newbutt at the University of Florida (UF). Their aim is to bridge the gap between autistic youth and education with the support of inclusive technologies in STEM education.
Join us to make education more equitable and inclusive for all. If you're interested in joining the Tech club, don't hesitate to reach out to us for further information and future events!
