High school level NASA-sponsored FIRST Robotics Competition Community-Based Team #9708 meets at Sci-Port Discovery Center. 

Building Relevance and Identity to Transform Experiences (BRITE) is An online program for teenage girls aspiring in STEM potential. Scan the QR code to register. Programming is at no cost to participants.

With GSK Science in the Summer(TM), the Franklin Institute's NGSS-aligned programming puts the child (2nd-6th grade) at the center of the learning experience. Each Be a Space Scientist! activity highlights a real-world career through a story that invites children to play the role of a person in that career: Astrobiologist, Planetary Geologist, Robotics Engineer, Rocket Engineer, and Spacesuit Designer. Programming is at no cost to participants.

Funded by ACT447 off the Regular Legislative Session of 2023, Supported 3,815 students & teachers field trips and 6,986 outreach participants.

Thanks to a grant from Verizon, 479 students & teachers from 8 different schools enjoyed free admission to Sci-Port.

Supported by a grant from Centerpoint, 2,528 students & teachers visited Sci-Port from 38 schools across Region 7.

In collaboration with NASA and Central Creativity, Sci-Port/LASTEM Region 7 produced 100 prototype Museum in a Box kits for Aeronautics. Kits contain 14 different activities. Cohort 1 was held with Barksdale Airforce Base homeschool groups.

Cohort 2 is a convergence of two programs - using the NASA Aeronautics Museum in a Box kits at Caddo Correctional Center Re-Entry Facility for "Dads without Barriers" where incarcerated fathers teach their children STEM. Note: there were 50 high school kits and 50 middle school kits. A generous grant from Capital One supported the high school kits. Each kit contains a student guide with career information for every activity.

Cohort 3 was held at Northwestern State University STEM Pioneers led by Dr. Jafar Al Sharab. Student is testing one of the activities in the book. Stay tuned for a video from Cohort 4, held at Stockwell Elementary led by LEAD STEM member, Ida Smith!
