What does STREAM stand for?

Science, Technology, Real World, Engineering/ Entrepreneurship, Arts/Athletics, Mathematics 

Why “Real World”?

ATY is made up of individuals from many different disciplines.  Several have life skills that span more than one area of STREAM.  Real World allows ATY to share experiences that have shaped our careers which don’t apply to a particular STREAM category. 

What does your mentorship program consist of and who is invited to participate?
  • We offer a monthly Zoom meeting which includes a spotlight presentation by one of our ATY team members (or special guest depending on the topic) along with open Q&A for any top-of-mind topics for our mentees.  We keep a welcoming, conversational style to encourage open discussion and feedback. 
  • We also offer the option for 1:1 or  2:1 (mentee: mentor) deep dive Zoom calls for mentees who have a particular interest area and we have an ATY expert with matching skill/experience. 
  • We have a policy of inclusion for our mentorship program where winners, applicants and other referrals are welcome to participate. 
  • Mentorship is a two-way commitment and both mentee and mentor must be committed for a fruitful outcome.
