Igniting passion for science and technology in youth.
We provide free hands-on learning experiences through accessible interactive workshops in underserved communities. Every workshop is built around one goal: turning curiosity into lasting confidence in STEM.
A student-run movement for STEM education
plantingSTEMs strives to become an organization that empowers students to unlock their creative and critical thinking through simple and enjoyable hands-on workshops. We're growing into a network of chapters and volunteers to make STEM more accessible for our students in every community.
Whether it's planting ideas at a workshop or organizing a new chapter with our gracious volunteers, our work is powered by students helping students.
