Over
the
past
few
years,
RISA
has
been
involved
with
Stand
Up
for
Kids
-
Orange
County.
Since
2003,
Stand
Up
for
Kids
has
focused
on
putting
an
end
to
the
cycle
of
youth
homelessness
in
the
community.
They
work
to
provide
basic
needs,
housing,
mentoring
support,
care,
and
love
to
at-risk
and
homeless
youth
ages
12-24.
One
of
the
ways
RISA
has
partnered
with
Stand
Up
for
Kids
is
through
their
STEM
(Science,
Technology,
Engineering,
and
Math)
programs.
Through
these
programs,
students
are
given
hands-on
experience
in
various
subjects
including
computer
science,
architecture
and
biology.
Through
experiments,
teamwork,
and
practice,
each
session
aims
to
inspire
the
kids
as
they
experiment
with
important
STEM
concepts.
Recently,
employees
from
RISA
have
led
a
virtual
course
focused
on
engineering
and
specifically
the
"Engineering
Process".
In
this
students
are
learning
how
to
identify
the
problem,
brainstorm
solutions,
build
a
prototype,
test
and
improve
design.
With
this
knowledge,
students
have
applied
what
they
learned
to
the
real
world
example
of
designing
a
simple
bridge.
