"Exposing kids to under-represented careers, such as architectural design and doing wonderful community projects for enhancement just makes sense," Robyn says
Four years ago, Robyn decided it would be a good idea to expose young girls and minority students to science, technology, and math careers, so she started a non-profit called STEM Xposure camp.
"Just introducing them to the design software itself exposes them to so many different opportunities in the drafting or engineering world," she said.

"I'm really feeling at home at this moment," said Masachi, who came to the United States three months ago after he attended a virtual summer camp by STEM Exposure Incorporated.

Hillsborough County students learning how to be architects through virtual summer course
There are a group of Hillsborough County students in the middle of a two-week virtual summer camp where they are learning how to build their own houses.
Tenth grader Joseph-Lafaye Washington-Clements is one of 30 students, grades three to twelve, learning the ins and outs from experts, on how to design, build, and even furnish their own tiny house.
“It really pushed me into knowing that I wanted to do architecture, specifically for tiny homes, I want to help and make tiny homes when I'm older,” said Washington-Clements.
Robyn Donaldson started the STEM Xposure program three years ago. She is an architectural designer herself and would love to see more African American kids follow in her footsteps.

Virtual summer camp to teach kids, teens to design tiny homes
Registration is under way for STEM Xposure’s first Global Tiny Home Experience Virtual Summer Camp, coming up Aug. 3 to 14. It’s an opportunity for school age-children and teens from around the world to design a tiny home that will actually be built.
“By the end of camp, every student will have created a design for their own tiny home, which will be built and used to design a tiny home village for homeless veterans somewhere within Hillsborough County,” said architectural design professional Robyn Donaldson, founder and executive director of the STEM Xposure, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. (The site has yet to be determined.) “I believe that what we’re doing will have a huge impact on the lives of homeless veterans who deserve our support for their years of service to our country.
