District Project
The 2024-2025 District Project is "STEMulating Hearts!" This project aims to engage Key Club members by encouraging them to apply their knowledge and skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to meaningful service-oriented projects. The focus of this project revolves around two main areas of science: the environment and healthcare. However, in addition to the core focus areas, the initiative also opens the door to exploring a variety of other STEM-related topics. This flexibility will allow members to diversify their service opportunities and tailor their projects to address a wide range of community needs, enriching their learning experiences and fostering a spirit of collaboration and innovation among their communities district wide.
