STEAM Academy: Design Studio is a partnership with Innovators for Purpose. The Design Studio is a teen-powered design and innovation studio that deploys fresh youth-inspired solutions to real problems for real clients. Working collaboratively with designers, technologists, makers and other professionals, youth weave the physical and digital worlds together to create immersive experiences with enduring impact. We like to think of it as a teen-powered consultancy analogous to design firm IDEO. Past clients include Cambridge Redevelopment Authority, Cambridge Public Library and MIT. Participants will hone their “creative doing” skills while working on client-based projects. Internships are open to students 14-18 years of age who reside in Cambridge, with a limited number of paid stipend positions available. This is a three-month long program meeting twice a week.

Malcolm Green is just a kid from Cambridge who became a man of many trades. Born and raised in The Port (Market Street to be specific) by a single Jamaican immigrant mother. His passion for cooking came from watching his mother work hard all day then come home and cook immaculate meals. Malcolm began learning how to cook at an early age from joining his mother in the kitchen when she prepared meals for him and his sister. During his quest to make the perfect omelet, Malcolm realized cooking for others was his calling. Now, Malcolm uses his skill sets to promote healthy living through fitness and meal prep with his catering company, Malia's Catering (named after his daughter).
