Our purpose here at Science Days is to provide female middle school students an after-school program which focuses on science and mathematics. Females, especially minorities, are under-represented in many higher learning institutions majoring in science and mathematics. The future of the world will be placed upon the shoulders of our future engineers, scientists, mathematicians, etc. The current and potential problems that the world will face within the next decade will directly affect this generation.

YOUTH MUSIC EXCHANGE
An Emergent Solution
At the Youth Music Exchange (YME), http://youthmusicexchange.org, when one is in the search for solutions, one could ask: “What would entice children to come to school and strive for success…even if they weren’t required to show up?” The question is not entirely hypothetical; in fact, after-school practitioners wrestle with this conundrum every day. After-school education is founded upon a paradox—that is, learning is mandatory but attendance is not.

The goal of the Fencing Academy of Boston (FAB) is to improve the lives of at-risk children in low-income, urban communities by providing them with an activity that will increase each participant’s physical fitness, teamwork capacity, self-confidence and –control, leadership skills, work ethic, academic achievement, and positive outlook on life. Starting in the fall of 2007, FAB will lead afterschool and summer programs that combine fencing and academic tutoring.
