STEM Center of Innovation

Detroit Arsenal STEM Center of Innovation supports local and military youth by providing them with skills to achieve their academic goals and inspiration to pursue STEM based careers. The center features a high quality, technology based STEM program that supports creativity and innovation. With the support from Raytheon Technologies and Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the Detroit Arsenal STEM Center of Innovation strives to shape the leaders of tomorrow by giving them confidence in their ability to solve social challenges and leaving them poised with the skills needed to succeed and make an impact on their community.

We Are Partnered With Boys & Girls Clubs

Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the U.S. Armed Forces have partnered to help children of military families face the unique challenges of military life. Today, this enduring partnership continues to provide children of military personnel with critical youth development programs and activities, giving families the vital support they need.

We here at Detroit provide our youth with the same high-quality programs and curriculums that traditional Boys & Girls Clubs provide. In addition, no-cost memberships are provided to children of the approximately 70 percent of families who live outside military installations.
