Helping You Bring STEM Learning Home
You don’t need specialized training, expensive equipment, or all the answers to help your child explore STEM. Curiosity, encouragement, and a few everyday materials can open the door to meaningful learning.
901STEM helps Memphis-area families discover approachable ways to explore science, technology, engineering, and math—at home and throughout our community. We’re developing free activities and guides while also connecting families with STEM opportunities and resources already available across the Memphis area.

STEM Around Memphis
Great Opportunities Already Exist. We’ll Help You Find Them.
Memphis and the Mid-South are home to organizations offering outstanding STEM programs, events, camps, exhibits, and learning experiences for young people. 901STEM helps families discover these opportunities and find experiences that fit their children’s interests.
When we find something great, we want more families to know about it.
You Don’t Have to Be a STEM Expert
STEM learning isn’t about knowing every answer. It’s about asking questions, trying ideas, learning from mistakes, and discovering how things work.
Our resources will help you guide those experiences—even if science and math weren’t your favorite subjects in school. By exploring alongside your child, you can help build their confidence, creativity, and willingness to take on new challenges.
STEM Opportunities for Every Kind of Learner
Every family should have opportunities to experience STEM. We’re committed to helping families find meaningful experiences that are approachable, affordable, and accessible.
Children learn in different ways and develop interests at different times. Whether your child loves science and technology already or is just beginning to discover what interests them, there should be a place for them to explore.
