Multicultural Educational Programs, Inc.

Good afternoon everyone, can you please spread the word about our free after school program during December 7-11, 2015. We will be celebrating Computer Science Week with a "Hour of Code" several afternoons.What is a Hour of Code? It opens the world of computer programming for youth! Did you know right now in Iowa there are 4,489 jobs available and only 358 Computer Science Graduates to fill them! By 2020 there will be over 1.4 million jobs and estimated only 400,000 people in computer science to fill them! This is a billion dollar a year industry waiting to be filled!

Kids learning with STEAM!

This summer has been great! Multicultural Ed. Programs kicked off summer on June 24-26 with the Multicultural STEAM Days. Dr. Paula Mahone and the UPS Volunteer Team lead by my husband Steven Frazier served 140 kids over three afternoons! Children learned how to perform surgery with our new simulator, how to draw like an architect with Al the Traveling Artist and much more! Check us out at www.meeprocks.org for more pictures

Mr.Vidal and Ms.Ruth Ann Gaines invited our team to visit her diversity class for teachers out at the Heartland Area11 Education Agency last month. Then we have on the cover picture volunteer Kiera Canada at DMACC for the Evelyn Davis Center for Working Adults on Black Inventors Day in June.
