Building
Dreams
STEM and Skilled Trades
at Annapolis Middle School
At 2-CM Dreams, we believe every child deserves the chance to dream beyond their
circumstances and to build a future filled with purpose, confidence, and possibility. That’s
why we are partnering with Annapolis Middle School to launch a STEM and Skilled
Trades after-school program designed especially for middle school students.
This initiative is more than a program, it’s a journey. Together with the school’s
Community School Program Manager and Career Coach, we are identifying real needs
and co-creating an age-appropriate, hands-on curriculum that introduces students to both
STEM innovation and the skilled trades that shape our communities.
To ensure students are supported every step of the way, we are also working with Anne
Arundel County Public Schools’ #BePresent Director of Mentorship Programs to
provide training and vetting for volunteers who wish to serve as mentors. These mentors
will be role models, encouragers, and guides as students begin to explore new
opportunities and develop skills for the future.
But we know this journey is not ours alone. That’s why we are reaching out to local
community organizations and partners who share our vision: to create an environment
where kids from underserved communities are empowered to imagine, build, and achieve
their dreams.
This is just the beginning. As the program grows, we’ll be sharing updates, stories, and
ways you can be part of this movement. Whether as a donor, volunteer, or community
partner; you can help us build dreams, one student at a time.
Follow our journey. Grow with us. Help us build.

October and into November are producing fruitful connections and partnerships! We have been busy cultivating Intentional relationships with local non-profits, organizations, and STEM Professionals. We know we are on to something great here because each connection made has a heart for kids, ideas & suggestions to grow a successful after-school STEM program, and energy & excitement that uplifts and positively affects our movement!!! We are confident that the foundation of this program is going to be strong. We will have our first in-person Foundation Team meeting 21 November to finalize our goals and intended outcomes. Thank you for being on this journey with us! If you are interested in being a part of something great, please fill out the Partner/Volunteer Interest section, at the bottom of this page, to join the team.

We currently have a STEAM Foundation Team comprised of 2-CM Dreams,
2-CM Technologies, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, One Annapolis, Annapolis Police Department,
Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum, Annapolis Middle School, and individual STEM Professionals. We are actively working together to plan programs that would fall under our STEAM umbrella to offer Annapolis Middle School students an enriching experience in the
2026-2027 school year...and beyond.
We took a slight break during the holidays to focus on time with our families. We are now refreshed and eager to work together to build something great: Drones, Robotics, Coding, and a Community Garden are a few of the programs where curriculum
discussions are currently taking root!
We are also excited to share that Georgie Clark has joined our 2-CM Dreams Board as an Advisor. She brings years of community focused experience from her engagement with other non-profits to include Hospice of the Chesapeake.
