Steam Connection
The STEAM Connection, founded by Anishinaabe teen Danielle Boyer in 2019, is a nonprofit organization based in Troy, MI, dedicated to making technical education accessible for Indigenous youth through robotics. With a mission to empower communities, the organization designs, manufactures, and distributes innovative robotics solutions for free, ensuring that cultural responsiveness and inclusivity are at the forefront of their educational programs.
By addressing disparities in technical education, The STEAM Connection fosters self-determination and enhances career opportunities for Indigenous youth. Their initiatives include creating affordable robotics that teach Indigenous languages and advocating for community representation in technology, all while overcoming barriers such as limited access to resources and underrepresentation in STEM fields.
