Arts Partners' Generation STEAM program empowers students to be creative problem solvers by:
Identifying a community problem,
Learning technical, artistic, social and emotional skills to develop creative solutions, and
finally pitching their solution in a design competition.
The students' community-based project is supported by the advice of mentors including college students, professional artists, engineers, and scientists.
Your donation will launch the buildout of the most viable and impactful youth-driven solution in the Wichita community during the 2023 National Science Olympiad at Wichita State University on May 19. Arts Partners is thrilled to partner with Science Olympiad during its biggest event of the year to shine a light on the power of charitable giving and service as part of the Smart to be Good program. Find out more about Science Olympiad here.

“Creativity is the catalyst of innovation. To prepare youth to solve the problems of the future, we must cultivate creativity. We appreciate your willingness to capture the vision of our youth – not only for themselves as future leaders and innovators, but moreover, for their desire to strengthen our community for today and generations to come.”
