STEM Outreach
NIU STEM Outreach increases STEM literacy and interest for K-12 students, families, and educators.
We deliver off-campus programs and on-campus activities that increase science, technology, engineering, and mathematics literacy and enthusiasm among P-12 students, their families, and educators. Our office is also a central place to find information on the numerous outreach programs offered by NIU's STEM departments and the colleges.
