Atlanta SMASH scholars got presented with real city problems and they said "BET."

At our first SMASH x Morehouse College Speaker Series, scholars built literal micro prototypes around flood mitigation, MARTA access, rider safety, accessibility, and more.

This isn't ...theory. This is real life, working alongside real professionals in the STEM field. We know that's right.

RIGHT NOW: SMASH Board members are matching gifts right now, so your donation will be doubled: smash.org/25thanniversary

JOY! 💙💚

SMASH Morehouse is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

It’s more than a summer program. It’s a community. It’s a brotherhood. It’s a space where brilliant young scholars are challenged, supported, celebrated, and empowered to dream bigger.

Over the ...past few weeks, we’ve learned together, laughed together, pushed through challenges together, and created memories that will last a lifetime. From STEM experiences to wellness programming, leadership development, and countless moments of joy, our scholars have grown in ways that extend far beyond the classroom.

Watching these young men discover new possibilities for themselves has been one of the greatest joys of my career.

SMASH is special because it intentionally develops the whole scholar—mind, body, and spirit. And I am so thankful to be a part of this transformative journey.

-Lyschel Shipp, Site Director

#SMASHMorehouse #SMASHAcademy #STEMEducation #FutureLeaders

We don’t just learn STEM inside the classroom—STEM is all around us. Last weekend, our SMASH Morehouse scholars took a STEAM tour of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium—and it was next level!

From the data center powering the entire stadium, to the green gardens, zero-waste initiatives, and ...all the electrical engineering behind the lights and turf—we saw STEM in action! Plus, we got a special FIFA/World Cup tour: standing in the locker rooms, near the field—10/10 experience!

Our scholars took everything they’re learning and connected it to real-world applications—seeing just how powerful STEM can be when it touches every part of life.
