Specialties
Stoked on STEAM strives to make science, technology, engineering, and math accessible to learners by incorporating their practice seamlessly with art & design in a project-based setting. We specialize in after school programs and summer camps for children ages 10 – 16 years.
History
Established in 2013.
Together comprising over two decades of experience working with learners, Christina, Anneliese, and L decided that teaming up would allow them to do so much more than working separately. We endeavor to make a safe, judgment-free space for exploration because we believe that failure is important and that learning happens when we push ourselves farther than we think we can go. We feel that mentorship plays a vital role in collaborative learning, and we are committed to encouraging lifelong learning for everyone. Stoked on STEAM is fiscally sponsored by sprout & co., a 501©(3) non-profit based in Somerville, MA. If you would like to contribute to our work and mission, please contact Christina at christina [at] stokedonsteam [dot] org.
Meet the Business Owner
Christina C.
Business Owner
Anneliese Haines (program director) — After a brief time spent in corporate finance and risk management post-college, she became a NYC Teaching Fellow and taught high school math in Harlem. She left the classroom after seven years to pursue her PhD in math education at Rutgers University where she is in her fourth year of studies.
Christina Chestnut (executive director) — Studying engineering at MIT taught her that no problem is too hard to solve — that the key is to find the right approach and the answer will emerge. That commitment led her time and again to informal education: at the Women’s Technology Program, the Office of the Arts at MIT, and finally to private tutoring.
L Nichols (creative director) is many things: a painter, a graphic designer, a sculptor, an illustrator, a publisher, and an engineer. L is inspired by the creativity and impulsiveness of children and seeks to find it in L’s own work.
