IRISTEM is a student-led nonprofit that expands equitable access to cutting-edge research in climate, resilience, disaster preparedness, environmental safety, and STEM.
We translate peer-reviewed work into clear, age-appropriate curriculum, workshops, outreach resources, and advocacy tools—so younger students and communities can engage with real scientific research, not oversimplified summaries.
We translate peer-reviewed research into usable learning materials—curriculum, workshop guides, explainers, and outreach toolkits—so students and educators can work with real science.
Younger students, educators, and communities seeking credible climate and resilience education—especially where access to advanced STEM learning and current research is limited.
Student-led, research-grounded, and collaboration-first. We partner with researchers and networks like the UC Disaster Resilience Network, Northeastern’s Global Resilience Institute, and the Global Wildfire Collective.
Mentors affiliated with these institutions provide guidance and help ensure academic accuracy in our educational materials.
"Institutional affiliations are listed for identification purposes only and do not imply formal institutional endorsement."
IRISTEM students design and deliver projects that protect communities from environmental harm while building future-ready STEM skills.
From robotics workshops to environmental monitoring and applied research, we create pathways for young people to lead, collaborate, and solve real problems.
