Educational Awareness and Involvement

Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy 

 

The Shabazz Delta Academy is designed to offer a variety of opportunities and experiences to young girls, (ages 11-13). Using science, math, and technology as a focus, the girls participate in activities that are interactive and embedded with Common Core science and math concepts. They also participate in activities that help them focus on healthy minds and healthy bodies, and perform public service organized by the members of Seattle Alumnae. The Shabazz Delta Academy volunteers understand the importance of providing a trusting environment that is non-judgmental and is necessary for these young flowers to bloom. 

 

Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy is open to girls in King, Snohomish and Kitsap Counties.  Meetings are held on the 3rd Saturday of the month.

 

Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta G.E.M.S. 

 

A natural outgrowth and expansion for the continuation of the highly successful Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy, Delta GEMS was created to catch the dreams of African-American at-risk, adolescent girls aged 14-18. Delta GEMS provides the framework to actualize those dreams through the performance of specific tasks that develop a CAN DO attitude. The goals for Delta GEMS are: 

•  To instill the need to excel academically; 

• To provide tools that enable girls to sharpen and enhance their skills to achieve high levels of academic success; 

• To assist girls in proper goal setting and planning for their futures in high school and beyond; and 

• To create compassionate, caring, and community-minded young women by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities. 

The Delta GEMS program offers a road map for college and career planning through activities that provide opportunities for self-reflection and individual growth. Delta GEMS participants have the opportunity to define and “Discover their individual Brilliance.”

Delta GEMS is open to girls in King, Snohomish and Kitsap Counties. Meetings are held on the 3rd Saturday of the month.

The Mona H. Bailey STEM Day @ Pacific Science Center (PSC) is an immersive STEM program for local third grade students attending partner schools in Seattle. Students and teachers engage in interactive workshops prepared by PSC staff that integrate science, technology, engineering and math concepts and skills. Hands-on experiments making silly putty and learning concepts in chemistry with candy crystals are activities they enjoy. By days-end, the students have experienced all of the interactive exhibits at the center. 

 

The Mona H. Bailey STEM Day @ Pacific Science Center is named in honor of the 17th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated and longtime member of Seattle Alumnae Chapter Mona H. Bailey.
