Upcoming Event​

STEAM Fair

03 June 2025​

The WHJESP STEAM Fair provides students with a platform to showcase their interests, inventions, and scientific research. Science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) remain underrepresented in urban communities. Our mission is to bridge this gap by offering opportunities, resources, and mentorship. These core concepts are integrated throughout our programming to inspire and empower the next generation.
