About STEM Sprouts
STEM Sprouts is a student-led nonprofit providing free, hands-on STEM education to elementary school students through student-run chapters.
A Student-Led Nonprofit
STEM Sprouts is run by students. High school students start and lead STEM Sprouts chapters in their schools and communities, and those chapters teach free, hands-on STEM lessons to elementary school students.
That makes the relationship simple: older students gain real leadership experience, and younger students get an approachable first introduction to science, technology, engineering, and math.

STEM Sprouts exists to spark curiosity and build confidence in young learners by making STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fun, creative, and accessible. Through interactive workshops, real-world challenges, and beginner-friendly coding projects, we empower students to explore, experiment, and enjoy learning.
Vision
We believe that every child deserves a joyful, hands-on introduction to STEM, no matter their background or experience. Our goal is to plant the seeds of problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation that will grow into the skills and passions of tomorrow's changemakers.
