Episode Synopsis

Robyn Donaldson, Founder and President of STEM Xposure, specializes in architectural design and building. STEM Xposure is a nonprofit with a mission to give back and mentor others interested in careers in the construction industry as engineers, architects, mathematicians, professional tradespeople, and general contractors. Targeting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, this method of education focuses on learning in coherence instead of in isolation. STEM Xposure, located in Gibsonton, Florida, introduces young minority students to careers in these fields through their virtual architectural design and construction camps. The camps teach the basics of architectural design, including mapping, site investigation, sketching, scaleddrawings, and presentation skills. The 2021 Camp was hosted in Nairobi, Kenya, which was the first time it has been hosted outside of the United States. One hundred twenty students registered/participated in this event, and ten schools from different partsof Kenya were represented.To learn more about STEM Xposure, visit: https://www.stemxposure.comVisit Operation Tiny Home at: https://www.operationtinyhome.orgA special thank you to Rodello's Machine for our theme, song "The World Inside."
