STEM Enrichment of New Jersey

Hands-on learning should be within reach.

As the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Chapter Leader, I help create free, welcoming workshops where younger students discover STEM by building, experimenting, and asking questions.

What students explore

Learning by doing.

Beginner-friendly activities turn abstract concepts into things students can see, test, and improve.

Block coding

Simple logic and programming concepts through visual, approachable tools.

LEGO robotics

Motors, sensors, gears, motion, and problem-solving through builds.

Science experiments

Age-appropriate investigations that encourage curiosity and observation.

Snap Circuits

Hands-on introductions to circuits, switches, current, and electronics.

The mission

Free, welcoming, and built for curiosity.

These workshops are designed for younger students, especially those who may not otherwise have easy access to STEM materials or programs. Students can participate without bringing supplies from home.

Donations help provide and restock stationery, electronics, robotics kits, LEGO parts, experiment materials, storage, and printed handouts.

My role

Scotch Plains-Fanwood Chapter Leader

I help shape the program, plan hands-on activities, organize local sessions, and turn my interests in engineering and software into accessible learning experiences.

I work alongside Event Manager Letizia Lavelli to plan and run the workshops.

Ways to help

Help keep the workshops free.

Support can fund materials, expand what students are able to build, or help connect the chapter with libraries, schools, volunteers, and community partners.
