About us
At Stumptown STEM we believe every student deserves safe and equitable access to quality STEM education. We work to remove barriers for historically marginalized students to explore STEM education through robotics.
our mission
Our workshop is a free community resource where students can learn about engingeering, 3D printing and CAD modeling, coding, and electronic all while getting hands on, real world experience.
In the future we hope to expand to adult education, open workshop technology troubleshooting, and more as a means to support the greater SE Portland and Gresham community.
