Science, Technology, Recreation, Environment, Art and Math (STREAM) is a free after-school program hosted by the Environmental Science Center, Techbridge Girls, Centru Rendu and Seattle Advocates for Education. This program is for students who reside in the Renton Highlands community and is located at the North Highlands Neighborhood Center. STREAM curriculum consists of Kidzmath, Kidzscience, 4H Healthy Living, Scratch (computer programming) Business Foundations and project ideas contributed by City of Renton staff. With funding that originated from King County Best Starts for Kids Program and funds from the city’s Community Service Department, the STREAM program received the 2019 Program Excellence Award at the Washington Recreation and Parks Association Conference.

In October and November there will be free Math & STEM Nights for students in pre k-3rd grade that attend Renton Innovation Zone schools. The goal of these events is to increase familiarity and concepts for students, families and community building. Each event will be sponsored by The Boeing Company.  Translation services will be available for Somali, Tagalog, Vietnamese and Spanish. For more information on these events click here.

Our support has reached students, parents and families who reside in the Skyway/West-Hill and Renton Highlands communities. With the help of the community, opportunities in early learning, community and family engagement and basic needs will continue to be available for early learners and elementary school-aged children.
