The V2 Underground is a teen “makerspace” that integrates an established prevention curriculum with STEaM for youth ages 11-17. It aims to increase youth’s capacity to navigate the global community with 21st century skills. V2 Underground helps youth to bridge the gap of the digital divide via hands-on experiences.
