Learn About Us 🧐

Our Mission

We help young students discover what excites them by giving them real exposure to the world of careers. With interactive, student-led activities designed to build both confidence and curiosity, kids can explore new skills in a fun, engaging way.

How do we do it?

We collaborate with guest speakers and passionate high school students from across Illinois. They choose a topic they’re excited about, and we help them craft an engaging presentation and activity that both showcases their interests and helps younger students learn and enjoy the workshop.

How does it work?

Every weekend, we host engaging workshops led by guest mentors and passionate high school students from across Illinois. Each session focuses on a new topic, from computer science and healthcare to art, business, or engineering, giving students a wide view of possible career paths.

Why did we make this organization?

Many students don’t get the chance to explore different careers until high school, when decisions feel rushed and uncertain. We believe kids should discover their interests early, through hands-on learning that builds confidence, curiosity, and purpose for the future.

What‘s Our Mission? 🌎

Free workshops

We offer free workshops because we believe students learn best when they’re inspired—not pressured. By removing barriers, we create a space where curiosity thrives and students feel free to explore who they want to become.

Experienced Faculty

StudentTeacher handpicks guest speakers and volunteers to teach about advanced concepts in STEM, art, and much more.

All StudentTeachers pledge to ensure kindness, equality, and a safe environment for every student’s learning journey.

Find Your Passion

StudentTeacher helps students uncover their passions by giving them the chance to explore a wide range of subjects through engaging, hands-on workshops. By trying out different fields in a low-pressure environment, students can discover what truly excites and motivates them!

Build Your Network

Workshops are often led by high-school students passionate about their field or professionals who have real life work experience. StudentTeacher allows young children to connect with professionals in any field they‘re interested in.

Helping out at StudentTeacher counts as volunteer hours, which are often required to graduate and a good item to add on any college application.
