Power BUG (Building, Uniting, Growing)

The Power BUG program is a year-long commitment between WIT member mentors and Power BUG mentees. Mentees shall consist of at-risk students from East Bernard Elementary 4th grade who have been selected by their campus administrators. The objective of the program is to increase a sense of self-worth, improve their perspective toward STEM education, develop and define short-term and long-term goals, encourage social awareness through community service projects, and build positive relationships and support networks with adults and peers.
