United Way’s Math, Science, & Technology initiative was launched as a pilot effort in 2004 at three after-school sites serving 50 youth in grades 4-8 in Cambridge and Somerville. Partners in the pilot effort were East End House and Cambridge Community Center, both in Cambridge, and Elizabeth Peabody House in Somerville. UWMB’s expansion plans call for the effort to serve 300 kids by the year 2006 and to have a statewide presence for grades 4-12 by 2008.
