Overview

Stemtree is an education franchise focused on teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to children through after-school programs, camps, and tutoring. Unlike traditional learning centers, Stemtree uses a hands-on, curriculum-based system where students learn by doing experiments, projects, and guided activities. Programs cover science experiments, robotics, coding, engineering, and mathematics enrichment. Stemtree franchises operate from a retail location and may also provide services through satellite programs at schools, libraries, and community centers, expanding their reach beyond the main center.
