Start A Club

Bring the impact of Illuminate STEM programs to your classroom or organization.

FLEXIBLE, PROJECT-BASED CURRICULUM

Programming that adapts to your site.

Clubs use a flexible, project-based curriculum that adapts to the needs of each school or community site. Programming can be integrated into STEM-focused classes or offered after school, on weekends, or during the summer.

Clubs may be held in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format — making access possible anywhere learning happens.

Illuminate STEM partners with school districts, community centers, libraries, and afterschool organizations to launch Clubs that expose students to real-world technology, career pathways, and the belief that they belong in STEM.
