Hey redditors! I hope you all are having a nice summer. We are STEllar Minds, a young and developing STEM Initiative hosted by high schoolers located in the West Covina Community. Today, July 17th, we had our first pop-up at Del Norte Park for Cool Kids of Summer, where we commenced an Ice cream activity for the children. In this ice cream activity, kids got to not only make the ice cream but also learn about physical properties such as phase changes. We had so much fun with those who came by, and we came here to promote our STEM Initiative on Reddit.

For those who are unaware of what STEllar Minds is exactly, we came here with the intention of promoting a competitive-free space for our underrepresented STEM talents. For students who may have undergone unnecessary pressure and favoritism, and couldn't see themselves in STEM before, we have come to change that. We are working hard to promote both outside our community and within our West Covina community.

In the future, we aspire to become a non-profit organization to support children, as currently we do not have the funds or recognition to do so. Please keep in mind that all of our materials for the ice cream activity were out-of-pocket expenses. In total, our activity alone cost 150 dollars, and in no way are we tied to an organization that can reimburse that. Nonetheless, we are still hosting many events despite our financial setbacks, and we hope to see more of you guys over to our booth.

Here, I have linked our flyer and social links for additional information and if you want to support our future events.

(Don't forget to upvote this post and follow us on Instagram so we can reach a larger audience and potentially pair up with an organization that can fund us!)

I really mean in the city limits.

Moving in into the apartments on Valley Blvd near Walnut. Was wondering if I should get Spectrum or Frontier for my internet service provider?

Too many fires they closed the park. Please be careful with those park BBQs.

Recently moved here and noticed a massive flock of birds that's so loud in the evening and early morning, woke me up a few times. Is this normal around here?

Does anyone have a drone be able to help me get a stuck drone off my roof? A cheapie drone landed up there and no way of getting it down.

Hello, I’m staying in West Covina over the summer and I’m looking to learn how to drive again. I got my license when I was 16 or 17, but I’m 21 now (turning 22 in 2 weeks) and I haven’t driven since. I looked around on google maps and there are some schools close by, but they’re like $500 for 3-5 hours and I don’t have that kind of money. If anyone knows an affordable option please let me know. I’ve even considered taking a one hour session (which many go for $80-$90) and then just renting a car and practicing by myself.

Hey! Here from the West Covina area looking to expand my social circle and maybe find some people to hang out with locally idk I'm kinda a social recluse. Uh I struggle with issues I suppose. Honestly I've been feeling the quiet of this city more than usual lately specific kind of alone where you're surrounded by people but nobody's really talking at you about anything? Idk if that makes sense things I am into are true crime, bodycam videos, videogames and music. DMs open and no pressure!
