Everyday STEMful states that its mission is to build children’s confidence around how the world works by guiding them through an engaging, project-based STEM curriculum. The programs are described as play-based, with activities that support creativity, confidence, and problem-solving skills. An “a la carte” option is available for camp days.

STEMful is described as a place where wonder comes alive, with classrooms that are more workshop than lecture hall, where experiments become adventures and mistakes become learning tools. The founder, Kim Nguyen-Ehrenreich, earned a bachelor’s degree in zoology with a concentration in marine biology and a master’s degree in oceanography, and later built and led a research lab in cardiovascular science, collaborating with world-renowned scientists.

One parent, Sarah Nelson, shares that her daughter attends STEMful for afterschool programming and has learned about centrifugal force, kinetic energy, optical illusions, and other science concepts through play. Another parent, Erin L Gardner, describes STEMful as educational, a great environment, flexible, and notes that the children go on fun trips to the park and that staff have supported one of her children with special needs. Parent Katie Loux notes that her 7-year-old and 4-year-old enjoy taking camps there, mentions a rich, constantly changing range of programs, and finds the “a la carte” option helpful for occasional care, with kids returning happy, stimulated, and with plenty of outdoor time. Parent Natanya B. describes STEMful as a special place with engaging and caring teachers, and says her 6-year-old has attended camp several times and had a fun and educational experience.
