With Our Outreach Programs, JerseySTEM works with schools and organizations to create after-school STEM Club programs for middle school girls in low income, underrepresented communities. 

JerseySTEM provides the following:

• Grant Funding: We secure funding for the program through grant money from corporate sponsorships and other sources.
• Curriculum: We develop a curriculum suitable for a 10-session program. The curriculum includes instruction and hands-on learning, including all necessary materials
• Program Instructors: We work with local colleges, universities, and volunteer organizations to provide instructors at the program location to teach the instructional content and support students in hands-on learning sessions.
• Coordination: We work with the school and sponsoring organizations to coordinate classroom materials, program instructors, and scheduling to ensure a successful program.
• Community Impact: Our goal is to create an experience that schools and communities will offer year after year. Each program includes funds for an end-of-session celebration where students can showcase their work to families and the community. Materials can also be provided to communicate the value of JerseySTEM to families and students.

Our current schools use the curriculum once per week as part of a 10-week afterschool program.
