Why we exist
Spectrum TechLabs Alliance (STA) was founded to bridge the gap between underserved youth and the transformative power of emerging technologies. This means bridging the gap by bringing emerging technologies to the forefront, creating clear pathways to entrepreneurship, and building the capacity of youth to thrive in the workforce of the future. Through our S.T.R.E.A.M model, students engage in hands-on learning across various fields—Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math—that equips them with the skills necessary to tackle today's challenges and create sustainable solutions.
