Stars & STEM
Stars & STEM is an immersive evening STEM program designed for students who want to experience the wonders of space exploration through STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
We provide engaging, hands-on activities developed to match grade level standards so students are challenged, inspired and eager to explore STEM concepts.
