Voya STEM Futures

Voya STEM Futures is Voya Financial’s signature program focused on providing students in grades K–8 with the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) knowledge vital to be competitive in the 21st century workforce.

In cooperation with the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), Voya STEM Futures provides grants to science museums in seven locations nationally. Participating museums are afforded the opportunity to develop meaningful, innovative and sustainable programming that has a direct and measurable impact on a child’s interest in pursuing STEM degrees and careers. 

Voya STEM Futures has provided children as young as age 5 with opportunities to engineer rollercoasters, learn to use 3D printers, study the biological impacts of polluted water and engage in other workshops designed to engage them in the future of STEM.
