Thank

I'm
pleased
to

wonderful
group
that
came
together
to
help

develop

their
fullest
potential

started
as
a
grassroots
community
pilot
project,
in
collaboration
with
the

kensington
branch.
A
It
was
founded
by
local
community
members,

courinho
and

and
they
ran
programs
from

Engineering,
arts
and
mathematics
refers
to
an
education
initiative
that
helps
kids,
develop
critical
skills
they
can
use
in
life
and
that
empowers
them
to
use
their
unique
talents
to
critically
tackle
a
challenge
or
project
at
hand.
One
of
the
organizers,
christine

says
she
started
eastman

to
democratize
access
to
learning
opportunities
in
stem.
A
During
the
pandemic,
east

kids
is
relaunching
in
2022
as
an
incorporated
social
enterprise
offering
outdoor
nature
exploration
summer
camps
committed
to
social
inclusion
and
racial
equity.
East

will
be
offering
bursaries
to
children
from
financially
challenged
and
or
culturally
marginalized
families
in
future
programming.
Please
join
me
in
recognizing
the
great
work
and
positive
impact.
East

these
