Why The Local Beacon is Different
Many non profit organizations support STEM, Art and Music separately from each other and typically benefit only one party. The Local Beacon is focused on the full spectrum of STEAM, as well as ensuring the programming benefits all parties, thus strengthening the bond and unifying the critical connection points of local communities.
Why STEAM is Critical
STEAM education incorporates science, technology, engineering, arts and math into dynamic, student-driven learning that prepares young people for now and the future. It teaches the hard skills and well-rounded abilities needed for innovation and cooperative progress that benefit everyone. STEAM learning encourages pupils to employ mathematics and science to confront real-world challenges. It nurtures their creativity and curiosity, urging them to conduct research, run experiments, and devise innovative solutions.
Why Local Business is Important
When you buy local, you help create jobs, improve public infrastructure, and invest in your community. When money is spent locally, it can be re-spent locally, which increases economic activity. Buying local supports your neighbors and helps build community trust and transparency. It can lead to new connections, special discounts, and the chance to collaborate with other local businesses.
