Dysart Community Center announced a partnership with Microsoft’s Datacenter Community Affairs team to launch an innovative, culturally responsive STEAM program.

This initiative will serve children ages 5 to 18 across Surprise, El Mirage, Goodyear, Glendale, Wittman, Avondale and Peoria. It will offer hands‑on experiences in coding, robotics, digital storytelling and AI literacy.

“This partnership reflects our deep commitment to equity and innovation,” said Annie Ansell, CEO of Dysart Community Center. “By working with Microsoft, we are ensuring that every child — regardless of background — has access to transformative learning opportunities that prepare them for success in a rapidly changing world.”

Ansell said Microsoft’s support will help bridge the digital divide, expand afterschool and summer programs and prepare students for future careers in technology.

Community members are invited to celebrate the milestone by volunteering, donating or sharing the news to help empower the next generation of learners.
