STEMpreneurs - from Idea to Impact
Shape your future in STEM as you bring your creative ideas to life, foster problem-solving skills, and build knowledge and experience. The Creators Lab program is designed to allow students the time and resources to do a deep dive into an area of interest within STEM, guided by our instructors. Students will work on their own projects during the class, and present their progress at the end of the summer.
In this program, students can expect:
- Instructor-guided work time to generate ideas, select a final project idea, and identify the tools and supplies needed to get your idea off the ground
- Lessons to help you learn to manage your time, budget, and resources
- Time to learn and build on your project idea on your own, and in collaboration with other students
- Practice adapting and pivoting when an idea is not working the way you envision
- Final presentation and celebration of your work with your peers
Successful completion of program objectives will be rewarded with a stipend, recognizing the hard work and dedication invested in your projects. Exceptional participants (who meet the age requirement) will be invited to apply for our Internship Program in the following year(s), gaining invaluable experience for future endeavors.
Creators Lab is for youth who will be going into 9th - 12th grade in Fall 2026.
Lunch will not be provided. Please bring in lunch, or with your parent's permission, you can grab lunch from somewhere in the area.
Applicants will be invited to complete a short, virtual interview with Maydm staff to review the program requirements, and to help prepare for their summer project idea!
