UP Education Network

Hear directly from our kids, leaders and partners on their experiences at our first STEM day, SPARK, that took place in October! We have been so eager to share this with you and hope it gives you a glimpse into one of the many ways in which we empower our students at UP 🌟 Our partners help us provide students with equitable access to knowledge, resources and experiences that put them on track for high-demand career pathways. Interested in partnering? We'd love to talk, send us a message! 📨 📽: Intercultural Productions #thisisup #equitableaccess #stemeducation #stemcareers

This summer, UP Academy Holland (UAH) cut the ribbon on their first-ever food pantry: the Tiger Mart! Did you know that 22.9% of households with children are facing food insecurity? This number is further exacerbated when you consider the barriers that BIPOC households face in accessing resources. Most of our students come from historically marginalized, underserved communities, 86% being economically disadvantaged. In true UP fashion, our school communities mobilized to support our families. Veronica Rosario, our incredible Coordinator of Family and Community at UP Academy Holland, led the charge. Through a partnership with Stop & Shop Supermarket, UAH opened the Tiger Mart to ensure that families have free access to food and other necessities, even over the summer. Check out the Tiger Mart in all of its glory! 🐯 #thisisup #foodsecurity #community

Feeling inspired and grateful for real partnerships and kind, smart, thoughtful people who are willing to put in the work to engage young people in career exploration. 🤝 Over the last two weeks students from UP Education Network have been hosted by Rapid7, Ellevation Education, Tripadvisor, Google, with upcoming visits to Toast and PTC, and a past visit to Bitsight too. 🔬 Our shared goals with all of these partners is to provide sightlines into high demand careers for middle schoolers and to spark joy in STEM. 💡From building their own ed tech products to learning about UIX, machine learning, sales, and so much more, I've seen kids LIGHT UP, ask brilliant questions, deliver elevator pitches with gusto.... it's been such a joy. And I've also learned so much already about how to design even better experiences in the future. We will be looking for more corporate partners for next school year, so reach out if this excites you. So, so many people to thank but certainly Derek Heintz, Marta McAlister, Kelly Sennatt Esten, Alexandra MacKenzie, Alex Mukherjee, Yesenia Arango, M.Ed, Breton Caplan, McKenzie Brunelle, Kate Forrestall -- thank you all!
