🏗️ STEM Center Under Construction – Powered by City of Toledo White Box Grant
We’re thrilled to share that construction has officially begun on BESN X Community’s first permanent STEM Center — a space designed to be a tech and creativity hub for Toledo’s youth.
Thanks to the City of Toledo’s White Box Grant, this center will feature:
A game design and coding lab
A digital art and animation studio
An esports and media room
A green tech & urban innovation zone

This space will allow us to expand programming year-round, offer mentorship and internships, and serve as a launchpad for young minds ready to build the future.
