Maydm

One of the biggest hits at our Open House? The blender bike! 🚲

Huge shoutout to AE Cares for bringing REAP (Research, Education, Action & Policy) and their pedal-powered blender bike, where attendees pedaled their way to fresh, homemade salsa made with organic tomatoes, onions, and cilantro provided by REAP. 🍅🥬

It was hands-on, delicious, and a perfect example of the kind of creative, community-centered fun that made this event so special.

Thank you AE Cares and REAP for bringing this awesome activity to life!

Join us October 8th, 9:00–10:30 AM for a morning coffee chat with Chris Blackerby, CEO of Incisive Consultants, CEO of Maydm Dr. Shakkiah Curtis and the Maydm team.
Chris has spent over a decade leading Healthcare IT and EHR consulting, and founded Incisive Consultants with a team bringing 16+ years of Epic consulting experience. He's passionate about using technology to transform healthcare — and about people, with a focus on emotional intelligence and empowering his team. 💛

Hear how he built Incisive and why he supports Maydm. We'll also hold our check presentation and photo moment live!

Coffee will be provided. Open to our community but limited tickets! A donation of $10 is suggested to support our mission and student supplies.

Tuesday throwback to Maydm summer!

Three unique programs, countless builds, and one unforgettable summer. Maydm students didn't just try new things - they built, launched, and created things they can genuinely be proud of.

🚀 Rocket Science (2 photos)→ sketch to launch program where students crafted their own rockets and made them fly! 🛠️ Stem Power and STEMinism (2 photos)→ hands-on design with code, crafting, and hardware to create a real working rovers! 💻 Web Design (2 photos) → blank screen to live site creation and collaboration with teammates and the community!

Our students showed up curious and left confident and we are SO proud and can not see where these interests take them in the future!
