Our
Story
Get to Know Us
Two brothers started STEM Scholars with one goal in mind: Equal opportunity in STEM for all. We support children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and seek to give them new interests and exposures to fields they may have had limited exposure to. We do this through holding STEM workshops and giving unique challenges, introducing STEM as a fun and essential part of our lives. At STEM Scholars, we have held workshops at the MLKJr. Center in Bridgewater. We haven't limited our reach to our local community, also traveling internationally to India to give students there this same opportunity in summer 2024. We have also collaborated with Theraprints to improve the daily quality of life for senior citizens. Learn more about our exciting projects here.
