STEM in action at CARES Arlington Heights!🧠

During their weekly STEM coding class, our students put their creativity and problem solving skills to work by using straws to build a hands on trinket designed to enhance everyday life.

Learning, creating, and finding innovative solutions one project at a time! 🔧

During our CARES Cooking Class, our students got to take the lead in the kitchen! 👩🏾‍🍳👨🏾‍🍳

Instead of following a set recipe, students were given the freedom to freestyle, experiment, and create their own cookies.

And of course… the best part was getting to taste their creations! 🍪✨

FROM STUDENT TO STAFF ⭐️

Meet Raemon Buckner, aka Mr. Rae!

From his favorite memories as a student to what he loves most about CARES today, Raemon’s story is another example of the lasting impact our programs can have on the young people we serve.
