STEM Scouts

STEM Scouts tinker, explore and get creative doing hands-on activities in biweekly Lab meetings and occassional field trips. They try new things as they work with others, lead teams, communicate results and work with people in STEM careers.

STEM Scouts was designed by scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory to prepare girls and boys for a future of STEM literacy. Each year, we have 20 hands-on activities and accompanying kits for 5 modules or themes for youth in grades 3-5, and youth in grades 6-8 to explore together in Labs. 

When/Where do we meet?

The Lab will meet in-person between September - June. There are about 2 meetings/month. 

• meeting times are 6:30pm - 8pm
  • on Mondays for Grade 6-8 Lab members
  • on Mondays OR Tuesdays for Grade 3-5 Lab members (you will select in your registration!). 
    Update as of 9/18: the Monday Elementary Lab is now at capacity. There is still space in the Monday Middle School Lab, and the Tuesday Elementary School Lab.

This is a volunteer-led program

• All families should plan to volunteer in some capacity! In the registration, you will be able to select how you'd like to volunteer - whether you're comfortable as a STEM module instructor, classroom helper, or field trip planner. It's a fun program!
