At The SMILE Program, we believe every student deserves the chance to explore, question, and create. Our afterschool STEM activities for grades 4–12 build confidence, curiosity, and community. Here, you’ll find our latest publications along with media highlights that capture how SMILE is shaping the next generation of problem-solvers.
Follow along with SMILE’s monthly blogs and triyearly newsletters!
