 >\n<p><strong>About Stepping into STEM:</strong></p>\n<p>Our project aims 
 to support passion and curiosity in science in young minds by improving th
 eir access to a varied education and promoting future diversity within the
  fields of STEM. As high school students interested in the different field
 s of science\, technology\, math\, and engineering\, our nonprofit program
  will place a larger focus on these areas of education while uplifting equ
 itable values for students by providing classes and educational activities
  completely free of charge. We want to make our program accessible to stud
 ents regardless of their family background in order to increase the number
  of opportunities available for young students as well as the diversity of
  individuals within the STEM community.</p>\nhttps://berkeleypubliclibrary
