Noah was nominated by his school to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF) Pathways to Stem to be held in the Summer at the University of Houston. We are so proud of him!

 

Since coming to the US from South Africa just a short while ago he has faced so many challenges - things like COVID, a new school system, settling into a new country, and having to make new friends to name just a few.

But to still be placed first in the Clear Creek ISD science fair and then be nominated by his school for the NYLF literally just brought tears to our eyes because as a child who finds change hard, he has overcome this and has shown his potential and ability.

It’s our hope that he will use these new skills and all opportunities he gets to make a difference to this country and the country we have come from in the future! (He is only 10 now haha)

 

The Gofundme page we set up is to raise funds towards the cost of the program and because our family is new to the US and still finding our feet financially, any help towards these costs would be so appreciated! 

 

Huge love from the Darts! Thank you!

NYLF Pathways to STEM is a unique learning experience for bright, forward-thinking elementary school students who will evolve into next generation innovators, engineers, doctors, software developers, and scientists.

 

Students learn by doing during hands-on simulations and workshops. They also have the opportunity to choose the experience that is best suited for them by selecting either the six-day Residential or the five-day Day program.

 

Virtually all career fields today require a solid foundation of STEM. That’s precisely why these are the fastest growing areas of study, and the reason that STEM professionals are in the highest demand in the United States and throughout the world. Early exposure to these fields can set today’s kids on a path to success by giving them the tools needed to make informed decisions about the future.

 

NYLF Pathways to STEM is a fantastic opportunity for curious and high-aspiring young students to make new friends and enjoy unforgettable adventures while exploring the frontiers of 21st century science and technology.
