Family STEM Exploration
Bring the Magic of STEM to Cleveland Neighborhoods 
NEOSTEM is turning community hubs into laboratories of discovery this May.
Join us at Cleveland’s Recreation Centers this May to bridge the accessibility gap and spark curiosity right where students live and play.
We are looking for partners to lead interactive, joyful STEM activities that bring hands-on magic to the next generation of local innovators.
“Can you come back next week?”

Inspiration in Proximity: Bringing STEM Close to Home
STEM Exploration Days serve as a direct response to the accessibility issue by bringing STEM learning to neighborhood recreation centers, familiar places and accessible to community members.
By offering interactive and immersive activities, the program engages participants in meaningful learning experiences that spark curiosity and interest in STEM disciplines.
This approach provides exposure to STEM concepts and creates a sense of empowerment, fostering the development of crucial skills and confidence among participants, especially those who may not have had previous access to such opportunities.
