Elevating STEM in Out-of-School Time, Together

At STEM Next, we believe in meeting informal educators where they are to create a national ripple effect in out-of-school time STEM. By working hand-in-hand with out-of-school-time leaders in every state, we rapidly scale proven strategies while adapting them to fit local realities. Whether you’re looking for tools, training, or connections, we’re here to support you in bringing high-quality STEM experiences to youth everywhere.
