The STEM-based curricula for these programs are created by IMSA Curriculum Specialists and are aligned with NGSS science and engineering standards and practices. Programs are taught by our Curriculum Specialists, IMSA faculty, college education interns, area educators, and some IMSA STEMbassadors students. IMSA STEMbassadors students and regional volunteers work as group leaders in our programs to support learning and provide a near-peer learning model.

View Saturday STEM Programs
Explore hands-on STEM activities in a variety of topics. Students of all ages can dive into problem-based learning activities on IMSA’s campus. See below for scholarship information.
*Applying and qualifying for a scholarship does not guarantee an award or registration into the program. To qualify for a scholarship, the student’s family is required to submit proof of financial eligibility: if you qualify for SNAP or Free/Reduced lunch, you qualify, but we need you to submit proof of eligibility. If you do not have a form in your possession or have difficulty getting it from your school or IDHS, you may submit a screenshot showing eligibility. Please contact us at studentenrichment@imsa.edu if you have difficulty with this requirement. Alternatively, a 2021 or 2022 federal tax return showing proof of family income may be submitted.
- Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis, so it is to your benefit to submit all supplemental forms as soon as possible.
- WATCH YOUR EMAIL and CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER! Award recipients will be notified via email and must reply to the scholarship offers within the time period indicated in the email.
- NOTE: You may choose to either pay for program registration OR apply for a scholarship and await award notification. Your scholarship application will not be considered if you also complete a paid registration.
No requests for a registration cancellation/refund will be accepted for all in-person Saturday STEM programming.
