The Young Scientists of SC promote and provide Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) opportunities and experiences to the school aged youth of the Lowcountry of SC in an effort to lift them out of poverty by setting them on a path to a rewarding career. Since this is a tight knit community, most people return home bringing their skills and experiences with them, and creating a high tech, high achieving workforce that will attract additional direly needed investment into the county.
