About PowerU
Exposing our youth to the power and joy of STEM
Welcome to the PowerU STEM experience. It includes hand crafted experiences to both introduce and excite youth about STEM and careers in STEM.
PowerU is an online interactive and fun experience designed for young people to learn about STEM. While it is targeted to youth ages 10-13, older youth can also benefit from learning about the many career possibilities in STEM. PowerU is divided into three main sections: past, present, and future. Each section contains a variety of puzzles and challenges that provide a unique experience. These fun and engaging challenges are designed to keep youth engaged and heighten their curiosity about STEM. PowerU is the culmination of hard work and dedication to furthering STEM by the ITSMF Management Academy class of 2023 also known as Power54. The Power54 team hopes that PowerU will inspire youth to explore STEM careers and opportunities they may not have considered or thought were obtainable.
