About Us
Saginaw S.T.E.M. is committed to expanding high-quality Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education and opportunities to all students, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or zip code. We offer an array of cost-free programs for students designed to build interest in and knowledge of STEM, including all ages and experience levels, to develop a diverse STEM-literate workforce.
STEM skills are in high demand in today’s rapidly changing world. These skills are, and will continue to be, the tools necessary to address the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, many students from minority and low-income communities have been underserved in STEM education and underrepresented in STEM careers.
