Our ACE Founder Sheldon Watts wears many hats. Please find below a message from him in regards to his work in the community in the area of STEM. Civic and Community Engagement does indeed matter.

A message from Sheldon Watts:

I genuinely appreciate every opportunity I’ve been given to serve and give back throughout my life’s journey. While I have been blessed to serve in many capacities, my work with youth has always been especially meaningful to me. As President & Founder of the Bolingbrook STEM Association, our team has had the privilege of creating opportunities that ignite curiosity, develop critical skills, and prepare young people for success in college, skilled trades, business professions, and life in a rapidly evolving global economy through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education.

There is nothing more rewarding than watching students light up with excitement as they solve problems, complete projects, and discover new possibilities. Those moments remind us that every ounce of effort is worth it.

I am beyond grateful, humbled, and honored to have been selected as the recipient of the 2026 STEAM Innovation Community Award by After the Peanut, an organization that shares our passion for inspiring young minds and expanding opportunities through STEAM education. I look forward to celebrating with ATP this Saturday and continuing the important work of empowering the next generation.

As I always say, Go STEM!
