Generation InFocus
Mission
Generation InFocus implements School Day labs, After School and Summer Activity programs for students Pre K-12. We use project-based learning to engage young minds and foster career champions.
Summary
All of our thoughts, beliefs, desires, and hopes are centered on the ideology that with the proper knowledge and support, children can do anything. We strive to push the boundaries of what students believe they are able to do and ultimately be. Our hope is to walk alongside the youth as memories of our hands on, minds on challenges fuel their spirit of courage. We hope they will say it was with Generation InFocus that they first began to believe that there are no limits to what they can accomplish. As a result, we expect our children to be bold in The pursuit of STEAM careers, tackling the world’s toughest challenges and believing they can start now.
