Help STEM & STIR Launch in Glendale! (Coming Soon!)

Hi everyone, we are STEM & STIR, an enrichment, skill-building, and social group program dedicated to empowering children in Glendale, AZ. We are so excited to get started, but we need your help to secure the essential supplies needed to launch our program and keep our tuition costs as low as possible for all families.

Our Mission: Learning Through Doing

At STEM & STIR, we believe that learning should be an adventure. We will offer engaging classes for elementary and middle school-aged children (ages 5-13) that blend practical skills with STEM principles. Our planned programs include:

Quality Cooking: Where kids will learn to measure, mix, and create delicious dishes.

Gardening: Exploring biology and sustainability by growing their own food.

Sewing: Fostering creativity and fine motor skills with fun projects.

Woodworking: Building confidence and problem-solving skills through simple skill-building projects.

Robotics: Diving into the world of engineering and coding by building small robots with gears.

The Challenge: Launching Our Program

Your contributions are a direct investment in our community's children. By helping us acquire the necessary resources upfront, you will enable us to launch a program filled with hands-on, valuable learning experiences. This support is crucial for keeping our tuition costs very low for students and their families, including those using ESA ClassWallet, making these unique opportunities accessible to everyone.

Transparency & Trust

We want to be completely transparent with our community. All donations to this campaign are intended solely for the purchase of program supplies. There is no personal use intended, and all proceeds will be dedicated to getting our program up and running for the benefit of Glendale's children.

Here's What We Need:

Chopsaws and other woodworking tools

Sewing machines and a variety of fabrics and supplies

Cooking materials like pots, pans, measuring cups, and utensils

Every dollar you contribute directly translates into us being able to start our program and provide a child with a valuable skill, boost their confidence, and help them make new friends.
