STEM Afterschool Program

STEM Afterschool Program

The STEM Afterschool Program was a free, 8 week afterschool program for Middle-School-aged students interested in STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology, and/or Math). Students met virtually once a week (via Zoom), to review the prior week’s take-home activity/project and the new week’s activity or project was introduced. Students engaged in teamwork activities as well as activities focused around the program’s theme, which varied from the fall to spring semester.

The program was primarily led by our affiliated student group STEMout, co-led by Nicolas Fuchs (summer program lead teacher), in addition to help from Northeastern undergraduate and graduate students.
