The STEM Discovery Lab provides many opportunities for youth to explore topics in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Our youth programs align with national recommendations and actively engage learners in STEM through out-of-school time, summer and school day programming.
Through generous funding from Granite United Way and the Norwin and Elizabeth Bean Foundation, the STEM Discovery Lab is thrilled to be working with community partners to offer STEM enrichment, both on-site and at community hubs. This exciting collaboration allows us to offer after school and summer enrichment at no cost to middle school youth in partnership with other youth-serving organizations in Manchester. Our goal is to get youth excited about STEM at an early age and to provide a pathway for continued access and engagement. Programs include 3D printing, coding, SeaPerch, art/biology marine science and more! Follow us on Twitter @UNHSTEMlab to stay informed!
Community Hubs: Boys & Girls Club of Manchester, Manchester Police Athletic League, and YMCA of Downtown Manchester, 21st Century Community Learning Centers
