OUTREACH
SHARP believes that everyone deserves to have fun and learn about STEAM. SHARP focuses on impacting kids in underrepresented areas and continuously going to three Boys and Girls Clubs and multiple middle schools and high schools. SHARP works with Hartwood Acres and City Park to have annual events including Pumpkin Chunkin and Alphabet Trails to reach families around the Pittsburgh Area. Over this past season, we have gone to 20 outreach events, and have impacted over 5,000 people!
