Kids In STEM

Cell Squad: Decoding the Microscopic World

Love STEM? Are you in 5th–8th grade? Then Kids in STEM is calling your name!

Formerly Girls in STEM, this awesome club is now open to all students in our community who are ready to explore, experiment, and dive into the world of science.

Ever wonder how doctors actually catch illnesses before they start, or how AI is changing modern medicine?

This season at Kids in STEM, we’re diving into some seriously cool science. Kids will get to test real biosensors, explore the microscopic world, and peek behind the scenes of cancer research and medical tech. Plus, we’ve got guest speakers dropping in to show us how this stuff actually works in the real world.

It’s hands-on, highly curiosity-driven, and a whole lot of fun! Come build, test, and see how science solves big puzzles!

 Hands-on experiments
 Games & challenges
 Gross-but-cool discoveries
Big “aha!” moments

We’ll meet twice a month from January through May at the beautiful Stephens College campus (thanks to their generous support!). The club will meet from 4:00-5:00pm on the dates listed below.

The club is FREE, but space is limited — so don’t wait! Grab your spot and get ready for a super fun STEM adventure!

Class Dates:

January 11 & 25

February 1 & 22

March 8 & 22

April 5 & 19

May 3 & 17

*Be sure to check that your child’s school doesn't currently offer a Kids in STEM club, as we are located at many different schools throughout CPS.
