Spokes America is an annual student-organized program where a group of MIT and Harvard students spend their summer cycling across America to host STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning festivals for under-resourced areas.

These learning festivals include fun, hands-on, and project-based workshops that introduce kids to different STEM fields from psychology to computer science to mechanical engineering. Our goal is to inspire students across the country through our biking and enthusiasm for STEM.
