Benefits of STEM-Based

Learning Opportunities

STEM learning sharpens observation and analysis skillsfor young people

What happens outside of school is as important as what happens in school in developing a child’s interest in STEM

Afterschool programs can complement the school day by providing:

• room for experimentation,

• time to develop peer and mentor relationships, and

• opportunities to gain knowledge and skills

Unique student benefits through afterschool STEM

• Extra exposure

• Change of scene

• A chance to follow their spark

• Opportunity for all
