2024 was a milestone year for STEM Center USA, filled with growth, collaboration, and transformative learning. Here’s a visual and narrative recap of the strides we made together—students reached, partnerships formed, courses launched, and memories created.
By the Numbers: Our Student Impact
We’re proud to have reached over 6,100 students across California, Arizona, and Colorado in 2024 through hands-on, high-quality STEM learning experiences. We also worked with 17 charter schools and vendors, bringing STEM to students of all educational backgrounds.
A special thank you to our Southern California in-school programs:
Voices from the Field: Student and Parent Testimonials
At the core of every program are the voices of our students and families. Their words reflect the joy, curiosity, and confidence that come with hands-on STEM learning. Here's a glimpse into the real impact of our programs!
Program Highlight: Harmony in Color and Sound
One of our favorite collaborations this year was with the Colorado Homeschool Enrichment Program and Symphony in the Valley. Students explored neuroscience and music through neurographic art inspired by Haydn’s Symphony No. 104.

Course Spotlight: Robotics with Finch 2.0
We launched a dynamic new course—Coding & Game Design with Finch Robot 2.0—tailored for 5th–12th grade students. Finch Robotics was one of the 138 courses we offered in 2024. Through hands-on challenges and real-world applications, students explored motion, sensing, and communication in robotics.

Making New Connections: Conferences Across the Country
Last year, we connected with educators at 21 events through workshops, exhibits, and outreach opportunities. From local education events to national showcases, we shared our mission and built new partnerships. Our team traveled across the country to nine conferences, including: ARSA, Beyond School Hours, BOOST, California Afterschool Network, Colorado Afterschool Partnership, ESEA, National Afterschool Association, NASDME, and STEAM Symposium.

Looking Ahead: Join Us in 2025!
We’re expanding even further across San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties, with new bilingual programs, advanced math projects, and more collaborative learning.
Thank you for being part of our 2024 journey. Let’s keep building a brighter, STEM-powered future together!
