Square Root Academy, trains the next generation of engineers and scientists coming from underserved areas in the very communities this demographic resides in. It ensures that this program is accessible to those who need it most at no cost at all to the students using a hands on STEM-based curriculum, in-class mentors connect the mathematical and scientific theories taught in the classroom to real life applications. I met with Nicholas Haystings, co-founder of Square Root Academy, to talk about their program, the positive effects it has on the lives of the participating kids, as well as working together as a community in Sacramento to support and leverage their efforts.
