About Us
SKY – Skilled Knowledgeable Youth program (501c3) exposes youth to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) projects that will enhance their abilities through challenging projects that interest them in engineering and skilled trade jobs. These activities may be conducted in-school, after school and/or on weekend classes. The participants will be middle and/or high school students developing hands-on skills in a variety of activities that simulate industry practices to include academic skills and job readiness/employability skills when the projects(s) are completed. SKY has been the catalyst in the promotion and development of engineering projects for the Calera High School engineering program to include creating career paths. Because of the success at Calera, SKY is expanding its mission to encompass other schools throughout the world.
Our Mission
The Sky Education Program is an in school, after school and weekend program for middle and/or high school students that teaches them hands-on skills in a variety of industries, academic skills, and job readiness/employability skills while completing projects.
Students fitting amputees in Honduras
We have been teaching kids core subjects such as Math, English, Science etc, for years. We tell our students that they can change the world. But we never teach them how to Change the World.
Skilled Knowledgeable Youth leverages Career and Technical Education to demonstrate how students can apply core subject knowledge through real-world, project-based activities to solve, real-world challenges.

While working with Supplies Overseas (SOS), which is based in Louisville, people have collected medical supplies to go into the trailer. SOS has a connection to Liberia, where the clinic will be going.
Teacher Brian Welch
It’s a great opportunity for us to give back to the community and really bring purpose back into education. So we have students who are learning a little bit of math are [coming] out here… the science and the physics about how this needs to go together… One of the things that I always try to push is making sure that our students find value [in] sitting in the rooms that we have and get something out of education. So this is that piece we always talk about—you know, students will eventually change the world. Well, if we don’t model that with opportunities like this, then [teachers] are kind of missing [those] pieces.”
