Weeksville | STEAM for Social Change

The Weeksville Heritage Center serves as the DIVAS headquarters in Brooklyn, New York. The organization is proud of the accomplishments of our Brooklyn based program. Brooklyn Youth have worked on multimedia projects on the issues of environmental justice, housing issues and leadership development. In 2015 under the guidance of Professor Andrea Calloway our robotics team came in 1st place for providing a solution to the issue of gentrification. This program has been supported by The Brooklyn Chapter of Jack & Jill of America and Councilman Robert Cornegy.
