    A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The U.S. Embassy Algiers / Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a STEM program for Algerian high school and university students at each of the U.S. Embassy American Spaces, based in Oran, Constantine, Ouergla, Bechar and Algiers. The purpose of this grant is to build on established programming that effectively combines high-impact Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEM) training with market-tested employment orientation support. The Recipient will offer Algerian youth the chance to discover and increase interest in the STEM Fields. The Recipient will partner with American Corners in 4 Algerian universities, in addition to the American Cultural Center in Algiers to enrich cultural and educational programming at the American spaces through interactive, participant-led STEM activities. The program should allow about 500 middle school through university-age youth in the five project sites to develop the technology skills in high demand in the Algerian and international economy. Concurrent to technical training, participants will develop the soft-skills and job-seeking strategies necessary to identify personal pathways to launch careers in STEM related fields. Combining effective teaching approaches and interactive meeting platforms, grantee will assure seamless programming, both online and in-person, while adding dynamic activities and customized resources to the repertoire of programming available in American Spaces at Algerian universities.

    Priority Region: Algeria.

    Program Objectives: Over the course of six to 12 months, 500 youth will increase their technical skills and career readiness. Collaborating with American spaces in project sites, the project will achieve the following objectives: 1) increase local institutions’ capacity to implement STEM programming, 2) improve young people’s technical skills in STEM fields; and 3) increase participants’ awareness of STEM-related career options. The target audience for this program is Algerian high school and university students.
