Eyes Wide Open S.T.E.A.M Education
Eyes Wide Open S.T.E.A.M Education is an unincorporated Not for Profit Organization dedicated to inspiring and educating secondary school students in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M).
Our mission is to foster a passion for these vital fields through engaging programs, hands-on workshops, and interactive learning experiences that promote critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
By equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in an increasingly complex world, we aim to cultivate the next generation of innovators and problem solvers who will shape a brighter future.
Our fundamental goals are
Empowering young minds and igniting their potential in the S.T.E.A.M disciplines.
Exposing them to real-world and career-focused applications of S.T.E.A.M theories and concepts.
Preparing students for excelling in S.T.E.A.M examinations, competitions or other activities locally, regionally or internationally.
Our Journey So Far
The seed for Eyes Wide Open S.T.E.A.M Education was planted in 2022 at Diego Martin Central Secondary School, when Mrs. Karen Bishop - Charles, the founder and chairperson, conceived the idea to motivate her students to become more invested in S.T.E.A.M. She envisioned planning a trip to places most of them had never been or dared to dream of visiting. Mrs. Bishop - Charles reached out to the Mayor of Orange County's office, forming a partnership that transformed this dream into a reality with the first trip taking place in 2024.
Our maiden trip was a significant milestone, where we had the privilege of taking female students to Orange County, Orlando, USA. You can learn more about this impactful experience here.
In 2025, Eyes Wide Open S.T.E.A.M Education proudly became a registered Not for Profit Organization.
Our dedicated leadership team includes
Mrs. Karen Bishop - Charles: Founder and Chairperson
Mrs. Terry-Ann Marshall - Morris: Secretary
Mr. Vaughn Stanford: Publicist
Ms. Kaisha Hazel: Public Relations Officer
Building on the success of our initial program, 2025 sees an exciting expansion with two distinct trips:
Our regular girls' program to Orange County and
A new boys' program to participate in the Maker Faire Orlando.
Looking Ahead
We are committed to broadening our reach and impact. In 2026, we plan to expand our offered programs to include other schools, youth groups, and clubs, further fostering S.T.E.A.M education across the community.
We invite you to connect with us to learn more about our programs and how you can get involved. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you'd like to join us in creating the future of S.T.E.A.M education.
