SMILE is a statewide after-school STEM program, for 4th-12th graders,
focusing on creative problem-solving and promoting higher education.

The initiative offers professional development for Rhode Island teachers
and hosts annual community events like Family Science Nights.

Students are also granted the opportunity to collaborate with
University of Rhode Island mentors on annual projects and
contribute to community stewardship efforts.
