STEMNETICS is a dynamic program based in Michigan, aimed to expose students to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) through hands-on projects. We offer programming during and after school, workshops for families and students, and professional development for teachers.The mission of STEMNETICS is to prepare students with 21st Century Skills through the utilization of hands-on activities. In order for our economy and our society to excel, it is important that students are able to think critically and be effective problem solvers. Through our interactive programs, we have developed a curriculum for students to think outside the box and apply their educational knowledge to real-world situations.
