STREAM Innovations is excited to partner with Grace Klein Community through the ELEVATE Summer Program, providing students with opportunities to explore, discover and learn through hands-on experiences.

This week, students participated in interactive activities like Body Jigsaw and Squishy Body, building teamwork skills while exploring how the human body works. These engaging lessons sparked curiosity and introduced students to healthcare and wellness concepts in a fun and meaningful way.

A highlight of the week was a healthcare career panel, where students heard firsthand from professionals about their career journeys, the realities of working in healthcare, and the many pathways available in the field.
