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.
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.
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.
