Our Programs
Rooted Forward supports two sub-organizations that bring our mission to life through hands-on STEM education and cultural enrichment.
STEMBox
Creating Innovators through Hands-on Mastery
STEMBox is a hands-on STEM education program for students in South Jersey, with a mission to build critical thinkers who become ethical supervisors of innovation rather than passive tech consumers. It runs hands-on programs in robotics, AI literacy, and design and 3D printing.
South Jersey Lion Dance
South Jersey Lion Dance preserves and celebrates traditional lion dance through community performances and cultural education across South Jersey and the greater Philadelphia region, guided by the spirit of being rooted in tradition and powered by community. It offers a youth training program for young performers alongside performances for community events and celebrations.
