Community Projects
Cascade STEAM Community Projects are organized collaborative efforts for community impact and social good. We welcome all people of all ages to participate. Organization and discussion occurs at our Community Group meetings and on our Community Hub. See our Meetup Page for scheduled events.
Digital Navigators
Community Tech Support is now available from Cascade STEAM via our Digital Navigators Program. Assistance is offered to the public from volunteer technology professionals and students via arranged onsite visits with social welfare and support organizations to help resolve basic computing challenges.
Hack Night
Join Cascade STEAM for Hack Night on Saturdays from 4pm-“Late” at the Bellingham Makerspace for an open, collaborative session of shared learning! Bring your projects, homework, questions, and ideas and let’s do them together.

LinuxFest Northwest

LinuxFest Northwest 2026 will be held April 24-26, 2026 in Bellingham, WA with the main conference held at Bellingham Technical College and social events held at various venues around Bellingham.
Mentorship
Mentorship connects community members interested in STEAM in either a “Traditional Mentorship” or “Peer Mentorship” arrangement, providing a support structure for a positive mentorship experience for all.
Service Corps
Cascade STEAM Service Corps is a technology training program for social good. Each quarter, student interns and volunteers work closely with technology professionals to help develop and maintain the systems that we utilize for our organization and community programs, including Digital Navigators and HelpDesk.
Stormwater Monitoring
The Citizen Science Community Group helps in organizing support for RE Sources and their Stormwater Monitoring Project to help protect Bellingham Bay. Organizers are working to create science, technology, and administrative projects and subprojects for community members to easily plug into and contribute as we work together as a team to resolve challenges.
