Since its inception in March 2023, the Beats After School Program has made significant strides in fulfilling its mission. Our major breakthrough came when we were added to the program vendor list at Kipp Academy, our first partner school in South Florida. This marked a key milestone in our effort to integrate our unique curriculum within local educational systems.

In addition to our partnership with Kipp Academy, we have initiated promising discussions with other esteemed institutions such as CARE Elementary and the Miramar Cultural Center. We anticipate these collaborations to materialize soon, further expanding our footprint in South Florida's educational landscape.

As we conclude our pilot programs this semester, we are optimistic about seeing an increase in the number of participating schools. Our pilot results will provide essential insights and validation of our program's effectiveness, fueling our mission to make STEM education more engaging and accessible through music and creative expression. The progress we've made so far affirms our commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of the students we serve.
