Would you like to meet kids from Italy and learn about their culture? Well then, this is the club for YOU! We’ll be sharing what US kids love to do while learning what Italian kids love as well.
This club is open to 15 American youth and 15 Italian youth and will be completely in English. We’ll be making traditional dishes together (a list of ingredients needed will be provided after registration) and covering things like music and dancing, local legends and stories, and our countries’ iconic destinations. Register here if you are up for an adventure to explore another culture and make new friends from around the globe!

NATIONAL YOUTH SUMMIT SERIES presents:
2020 STEM Summit: Mars Basecamp

Your team of astronauts is stranded on Mars. Your supplies are dwindling. How will you survive, and how will you return to Earth?

Each collaborative exercise will test and strengthen both the STEM skills and the teamwork and collaboration it takes to solve complex problems in the real world – and on Mars.
