FUSE

FUSE was born in 2013 as ‘YouSTEM': a STEM opportunity for youth in libraries and other after-school settings. The original teens doing YouSTEM thought the experience was cool, but didn't like the name at all. So in true FUSE fashion, we asked the teens to come up with something better. They debated several ideas, nd finally proposed FUSE. We loved it right away: ‘FUSE' suggests STEM and engineering, while it also celebrates the spark that powers new ideas and experiences. We're often asked if FUSE is an acronym. It isn't, but we love this one, suggested by a FUSE facilitator: "Finally Using STEAM effectively"!... FUSE was founded in 2011 by Reed Stevens, Professor of Learning Sciences at Northwestern University, with a goal to reinvent STEAM education to appeal to all learners... FUSE has now spread beyond the Chicago area to include elementary, middle, and high schools in 22 states and abroad (most recently in Rabat, Morocco). While we continue to partner with out-of-school..
