STEM Cubs is a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education program hosted by the College of Education & Human Development and College of Engineering at the University of Missouri.
Emphasizing the importance of early exposure to exploratory and experiential learning for all students, STEM Cubs seeks to engage elementary and middle school students in hands-on STEM education and activities beyond the classroom. As an outreach initiative, STEM Cubs seeks to provide this enriching opportunity for students, families and communities, particularly those who have not had prior access to these experiences or exposure to STEM fields and careers.
Get involved as an instructor or volunteer.
