About Us

Planting the future, one workshop at a time.

plantingSTEMs is a student-led nonprofit dedicated to making science hands-on, joyful, and accessible for kids everywhere.

Our Mission

Bring hands-on science experiences to every student, everywhere.

We want to ignite passion for science and technology in youth by providing 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 science.

Our Vision

A world where everyone can thrive in STEM education

We want to see every child, regardless of their background, socioeconomic status, and neurodivergence, thrive and grow in STEM-related interests and education.

We're just getting started, and we're growing one chapter, one workshop, and one volunteer at a time.
