Our Program Model: The Bridge Project uses data from a comparison group of students who reside in public housing but do not participate in Bridge programs. Population: We serve students from kindergarten through sophomore year of college, who predominantly reside in public housing neighborhoods Importantly, Bridge students of Black/African-American descent had significantly higher reading scores when compared to Black/African-American youth in the comparison group.

This is the first time we have data comparisons over more than one year comparison group of students who live in other public housing neighborhoods in which afterschool programming is not available. It encompasses the following elements to develop skills in computer science, engineering, math, and science: (computer science/web development) Robotics (engineering) Destination Imagination (science/math/ engineering) Engineering Everywhere (math/engineering) and Summer Engineering Projects (math/engineering).įor the first time, the Bridge Project evaluation team has, through the leadership of Professor Jeff Jenson, Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver, collected data from 2014-2016. The overall goal of STEM is to provide high-quality programming for students that they may not otherwise be exposed to at school. STEM programming is available to participants in grades fourth through eighth and takes place in different units throughout the year.
