Inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders

Hands-on, engaging experiences for TK-12

Technology literacy for all

Regardless of what our children grow up to become, having a basic understanding of how things work is vital in our technology-dependent world. We believe that learning should be fun and work to equip our next generation with life skills including critical thinking, creativity, and a maker mindset.

Our Story

Co-founders Melissa and Lavanya Jawaharlal are sisters dedicated to sharing their passion for engineering and hands-on learning. They worked to create the space they wished they had growing up: a creative space to tinker, learn new skills, and be surrounded by the makers and shakers of tomorrow.

STEM Center USA has excited our boys about science and technology. Our boys bring what they learn at the Center and apply the same principals at home. The Center makes learning fun and they look forward to Mondays at STEM!

I enjoy coming to STEM Center because of the building and programming. I do a lot of projects and make my robots move, play sounds, and change colors.
