About Us
The Roadrunner STEM Initiative is a community-focused organization in Doña Ana County dedicated to closing the digital divide. We provide immediate, practical education through digital literacy workshops for adults and parents, alongside specialized STEM camps and workshops for youth. Our goal is to ensure every member of our community has the foundational skills and technical confidence to navigate the modern world.
Our Mission
To provide accessible digital literacy and STEM education to the residents of Doña Ana County. We empower our community through hands-on workshops for adults and engaging STEM camps for youth, ensuring that technology becomes a tool for opportunity rather than a barrier to success.
Our Vision
To create a digitally inclusive Doña Ana County where students and adults alike possess the essential technical skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
Our Focus
- Digital Essentials: Practical workshops on foundational computer skills and navigating the modern digital landscape for adults.
- Safe & Informed Parenting: Equipping parents with the tools to manage their children's digital footprints and ensure online safety.
- Youth Tech Workshops: Hands-on sessions for students that transform technology from a passive pastime into a tool for creation and learning.
- Community Tech Support: Providing accessible training to ensure seniors and underserved residents aren't left behind by the "digital-first" world
Workshops
Our sessions are not "classes" - they are Digital Survival Skills. We have moved away from the boring classroom model of workbooks and lectures. Instead, we provide a hands-on, "bring-your-own-device" environment where the focus is on immediate utility.
Digital Basics
Stop fighting your technology and start mastering it. This workshop is about knowledge, not workbooks. We focus on the practical skills you need to navigate your computer or smartphone with confidence - from mastering the interface to managing the files that matter most to you.

Technology moves fast, but you can keep up. This isn't a lecture on "screen time"—it's a real-world toolkit for parents. We show you how to actually manage digital footprints, set up real safety boundaries, and understand the apps your kids are using every day.
