“The program brings to life the true scientific process. Rather than focusing on book-centric activities, the students are encouraged to be inquisitive about real-life situations and seek answers through research and experimentation…”
“…The down-to-earth approach of DiscoverSTEM takes the fear out of scientific learning. DiscoverSTEM encourages students to make their own discoveries. By working together in groups, they feed off each other’s energies as each has his or her own “Eureka” moment...”
“…What started as a small mentoring program in 2016 has now evolved to one where students have won NASA innovation awards, patented their innovations, and are now proceeding towards commercialization….”
“As a scientist and one of the designers of the NASA Apollo spacecraft, I’ve seen intensive brain-storming and innovation activities in our team when we were designing systems to land a man on the moon and safely bring them back! The next time I saw such an activity is at DiscoverSTEM… This is the best STEM & Innovation program I’ve ever seen.”
“As an ex-member of the admission committee of the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine for many years, I think one of the most valuable qualities many top-tier medical schools are looking for is Innovations and patents on applicant’s CV. DiscoverSTEM programs mentors a student to earn these valuable additions to their profile”

“I liked that the DiscoverSTEM Innovation Program fostered critical, analytical, and innovative thinking. I liked the fact that a world-class innovator taught Ashton and that he could be around other talented young children who are curious learners and are taught to think outside of the box. I liked the left-right brain activity.”
