In FUSE, youth choose from a wide array of challenges that appeal
to their existing interests in music, design, and pop culture. Youth
work at their own pace to complete the FUSE challenges, leveling
up through increasingly complex projects and producing unique
artifacts along the way. FUSE Facilitators, who are usually teachers
or librarians from our partner organizations, act as problem solving
coaches and mentors in each studio.

and support the interests of girls and minorities who are typically
underrepresented in STEAM fields.
