About NEXT GEN STEMS
Building bridges between underserved communities and the future of technology.
Our Story
NEXT GEN STEMS was founded with a simple but powerful belief: every young person deserves the opportunity to explore, learn, and thrive in STEM fields, regardless of their zip code or socioeconomic background.
Located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, we have grown from a small after-school program into a comprehensive STEM education organization serving thousands of students through coding camps, robotics workshops, engineering design challenges, and mentorship programs.
Our curriculum is designed by industry professionals and educators who understand both the rigor of STEM careers and the reality of our students' lives. We meet young people where they are and take them where they need to go.
