What is SHINE?
:As a way to spread access to a STEM education throughout our city of Minneapolis, our team created and implemented our own STEM curriculum in two community centers: Hope and Brian Coyle. This program targets areas where schools lack FTC and FRC teams in order to provide students with access to STEM learning and help them to discover a bright path to the future.
SHINE works to achieve six main goals:
Our SHINE Curriculum works to encompass all aspects of STEM; see the links below for info sheets on the different activities that we bring into these community centers.

We would like to thank our two main sponsors of our SHINE curriculum: Linden Hills Neighborhood Council and the Bakken Museum.
