STEM Cubs is a free S.T.E.M. education program hosted by the Office of Academic Access and Leadership Development, College of Education & Human Development and College of Engineering at the University of Missouri.
Emphasizing the importance of exposing all students to exploratory and experiential learning, STEM Cubs seeks to engage elementary and middle school students in hands-on STEM education and activities beyond the classroom. STEM Cubs seeks, particularly, to involve students whose families and communities historically have not had access to these experiences or exposure to STEM fields and careers.
Get involved as an instructor or volunteer.
