Why Children need STEM education?
STEM-based education empowers children beyond the curriculum of science, technology, engineering, and math. Here are five benefits:
- Inspire curiosity – The essence of STEM lies in asking questions, which will imbibe a healthy skepticism in children.
- Critical thinking – Since a huge part of STEM is solving for answers, children are encouraged to use logic and figure things out, instead of rote learning.
- Challenging curriculum – Introducing your children to STEM will broaden their horizons, as opposed to regular schooling. It might encourage them to learn above their grade.
- Scientific temper – STEM helps children develop a rationale that is fact-based instead of blind belief, in the age of misinformation this is an essential skill to have.
- Opportunities – Lastly, STEM will open up an array of opportunities for superior education and a successful career.
Providing Access to STEM education in underserved communities
“Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.”
– Mae Jemison | 1st African American woman astronaut in space
Annual STEM Frenzy Festival
A festival for families and the community to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through engaging hands-on activities, inspiring demonstrations from top STEM organizations, raffles, prizes, and more!
Frenzies & Learning
Interactive learning experiences that allow learners of all ages to deepen their knowledge in STEM studies, gain confidence in their abilities and chart a course for future career opportunities in STEM fields.
Family Field Trips
Our field trips bring the entire family together for learning, exploration, and innovation. All children must have a chaperone; parental permission slips are required for non-parental chaperons.
THIS MISSION IS BIGGER THAN US
Help create a BRIGHT future where our children of color will thrive.
Whether that be through investing your time, money, resources, or network, we all have the power to be someone’s light. We look forward to your support.

"Stem Frenzy is important to me because it provides an exhilarating experience lacking in underserved Black and Brown communities for children and adults. The Stem Frenzy experience provides an atmosphere that allows for hands-on experiments for children and parents to imagine and be encouraged to explore their dreams today and in their futures. It opens up an array of POSSIBILITIES."
