About us

Our Mission

At Stem-It Out, our mission is to inspire and empower children to dream, build, and achieve through innovative STEM education.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every child has the tools and confidence to turn their dreams into reality through STEM.

Our Story: Inspired by the Magic of Science

At Stem-It Out, our journey began with a simple yet powerful observation: there’s a certain magic in science that captivates young minds. Watching children’s eyes light up as they witness the wonders of chemistry, physics, and technology ignited a passion in us to harness that magic and turn it into something transformative.

In a world that is increasingly driven by technology, we recognized the importance of equipping the next generation with the skills and curiosity needed to thrive. This understanding became the foundation of our guiding principle: Dream, Build, Achieve.

From our earliest workshops, where children marveled at the chemical reactions in their homemade volcanoes, to the complex robotics challenges that pushed them to think critically and creatively, we saw firsthand how science and technology could inspire and empower. These experiences shaped our mission to create a space where children are not only encouraged to dream big but are also given the tools to build those dreams and achieve success.

Through the years, we’ve celebrated many milestones, from our first successful coding class to partnerships with local schools and community organizations. Each success story, each child who walked away with a newfound passion for STEM, reinforced our belief that when we inspire with the magic of science, we prepare children to navigate and lead in this technologically driven era.

Today, “Dream, Build, Achieve” is more than just a slogan—it’s the heart of everything we do at Stem-It Out. We are committed to continuing this journey, sparking curiosity, fostering innovation, and helping every child see the magic in science.

Impact: Empowering Children to Achieve Their Dreams in STEM

At Stem-It Out, the impact of our programs extends beyond teaching STEM skills. We focus on helping children turn their curiosity into confidence and their dreams into reality. By integrating CASEL’s social-emotional learning (SEL) principles into our STEM education, we ensure that every child not only learns but also grows as a whole person.

Turning Curiosity into Confidence

Our programs are designed to foster both intellectual and personal growth. When children participate in activities like building robots or coding games, they are not only developing technical skills but also learning essential life skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and resilience—key aspects emphasized by CASEL. These experiences build confidence and equip them with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

Creating Lifelong Learners and Innovators

Our programs aim to cultivate not just skilled learners but also innovative thinkers who are ready to tackle the challenges of the future. Whether it’s handling setbacks in a complex project or working collaboratively with peers, our students develop the resilience and problem-solving abilities that will serve them for a lifetime, thanks in part to the integration of CASEL’s SEL framework.

Building Stronger Communities Through STEM

The impact of our work extends beyond individual success stories; it touches the entire community. By partnering with local schools and organizations, we ensure that all children, regardless of their background, have access to quality STEM education. The ripple effects of our programs are profound: children who participate often go on to mentor others, spreading their enthusiasm for STEM and helping to build a culture of learning and innovation in their communities.

Looking to the Future: Fostering Growth Through STEM

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to our mission of integrating STEM education with essential life skills, guided by CASEL’s principles. Our future programs will continue to focus on helping children dream big, build their skills, and achieve their goals. The success stories we’ve already seen are just the beginning, as we strive to empower every child to Dream, Build, and Achieve in all areas of their lives.
