STEMpact is a teen-led initiative under Uplift Hands, empowering underserved youth through hands-on STEM exploration. Our mission is to inspire the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers by connecting students with real-world science, technology, and leadership experiences. Through dynamic programs like Girls in STEM (gSTEM), STEM Saturdays, and our Science Club, teens dive into creative problem-solving—building confidence, developing essential skills, and cultivating a passion to lead and shape the future.
