El Pueblo Innovation Club, or EPIC, is a partnership that began six years ago between the CU Boulder School of Education and Alicia Sanchez International Elementary School in Lafayette. Supported by a CU Boulder Outreach Award, the club brings together third through fifth graders with CU Boulder education students who come from different racial, class, and linguistic backgrounds to work on science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) projects, many that relate to social justice and equity.
This semester brought out the inner superhero in all students as they looked for how superheroes and villains are represented in society, created their own superheroes and villains to make sense of the current political climate, and designed gadgets, storyboards, videos and superhero mottos about fighting for justice.
