Sprouting In STEM is an organization run by two students in Lexington, for the younger generation of scientists. It is dedicated to promoting education and creating opportunities for young kids to start their experiences with STEM, as well as applications of STEM early on. Our passion lies in empowering the future leaders of innovation. We hope you join us in our mission to make STEM education accessible to the minds of the future. ~Sophia & Mikayla :)
