Acceptance into the aSTEAM Village program is on a first come, first serve basis and there is a mandatory parent/student interview prior to being accepted into any of the aSV sanctioned programs.

If your child is not accepted into the aSV program, we will recommend a program that your child can attend as it is our goal to make sure that every child has the opportunity to participate in a STEM/STEaM education after-school program.

Practice times may vary, and consistent attendance is mandatory for participation.

Students may be required to travel for competitions and exhibits.

This year's robotics, Ten80 race car engineering, Try-Math-A-Lon competitions are being held in Kansas City, MO. during the National Society of Black Engineers 49th Annual Convention in March 2023.

Travel usually requires overnight stays and release from school day.

If your child is required to miss a school day for competition, we have a form to be given to the school requesting an excused absence for an education event.
