The world’s first virtual experiential-learning and volunteer program for high school student groups on an international level.
Our virtual Global STEM Squads are an international collaboration to improve access to clean potable water in underserved communities in Honduras and Nicaragua. Each STEM Squad is a live project based learning case study involving engineering challenges in which students collaborate with our engineers on water systems in rural underserved communities.
STEM Squads are structured as up to 14 guided online sessions over the course of 2-12 weeks customized to meet your schedule and curricular objectives.

STEM TeleSquad Sample Itinerary
TeleSquads may be scheduled over a 1-9 week period.
STEM TeleSquads may be scheduled over a 1-9 week period. Our team works with you to customize for your school or class.
During these sessions, students get practice experience working on a real water system design, learn and apply engineering software and other technical field tools, and increase cultural competence in unique international contexts.
