Friday, October 26, 2018 Presented by the Asian Youth Center Helping Youth Succeed in School, at Work, and in Life! The Asian Youth Center (AYC) exists to empower low-income, immigrant, and at-risk youth, of all communities, and their families. AYC achieves this by providing culturally and linguistically competent education, employment, and social services to youth. AYC also has an Emergency Food program and engages in Community Outreach and Education to help families. The Anniversary Celebration & Awards Dinner is an evening gala that honors AYC's partners and community leaders. The event features a plated Western-style dinner, both silent and live auctions, and celebrates the achievements of pioneers who are committed to helping youth and families. The gala consistently attracts over 500 attendees, including business and community leaders, elected officials and other professionals. All proceeds from the event will benefit AYC s youth programs. STEAM stands for STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology, and Math) plus Art. As academics recognized that creativity and design thinking is necessary for innovation in STEM, there has been a strong shift from STEM to STEAM. AYC has always focused on Arts and STEM education for youth, so it only made sense for us to integrate both and go Full STEAM Ahead! $150 sponsors online curriculum in Math and English for 3 students $500 covers STEAM project kits for 20 students $750 covers basic craft supplies for a year of weekly art projects $1,500 covers a STEAM field trip with transportation and entrance fees $2,500 sponsors a STEAM assembly and speaker $5,000 sponsors 100 students to participate in AYC s STEAM Day Between 2017 to 2027, STEM/STEAM jobs will grow 13%, compared to 9% in other jobs (National Science Foundation, 2017 ). However, studies predict a significant talent gap in STEAM because students are losing interest at each level of education or failing to graduate from high school or college. The gap is even greater for low-income and minority students. AYC s STEAM focus exposes low-income, immigrant, and at-risk youth in K-8 to all of the possibilities in STEAM and encourages them from a young age, building a stronger foundation to their success in these areas.
