Nationally inspiring kids since 2018
STEM & Buds is a for-youth, by-youth 501(c)(3) bridging students to mentors, shaping ideas into initiatives, and translating science for civics. We try to make STEM—and its issues that affect us—participatory and accessible for all. For more information regarding our national reach and mission, please visit our national website below.
We're in Naperville!
Our chapter focuses on exposing elementary and middle school students to diverse STEM topics through hands-on applications. Then with the support of their mentors, students reflect on their identities and interests to create their own STEM-based project which they will share at the end of the program. Our free sessions are held at Commissioners Park on Mondays from 2 PM - 5 PM. Please check the schedule and sign up below for program information and session dates!

Throughout the school year, we meet biweekly on Mondays. Our Google Calendar is a great place to check out future session dates and topics!
