We are dedicated to providing free, high-quality STEM education outreach to all pre-college students ages 5-18 in the Northwest Florida area. Our mission is to create unique, hands-on learning experiences that inspire curiosity, build confidence, and foster a community of like-minded, STEM-active students who support and encourage one another.
We offer a comprehensive range of programs including hands-on STEM workshops, science fair project guidance, college preparation seminars, and mentorship from current college students and recent graduates. Additionally, we provide access to the prestigious SWENext High School Leadership Academy for high school juniors and seniors.
