What stem mets does

STEM METS is a Lagos, Nigeria-based education company that delivers play-based STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) programs to children aged 3-13. The company operates through three delivery formats: live online group classes, private 1-on-1 at-home sessions, and in-person school workshops alongside seasonal summer and mid-term camps. Programs are organized around branded, hands-on modules such as "The Little Engineer," "Launching the Launcher," "Establishing Communication," and "Generating Power," emphasizing creativity, problem-solving, and future-ready skills development.

The curriculum is assembled from a partnership ecosystem that mixes curriculum/content providers (Kide Science for science, Brick 4 Kidz for LEGO-based engineering, Code Combat for coding, The Little Engineer for engineering, Digital Influx for digital delivery) with corporate sponsors (Stanbic Bank, ARM, Airbus, Leventis). The company augments its program offerings with a content marketing blog covering parenting, education, and events. The technology stack is instructor-led and content-driven rather than platform-software-driven, with no disclosed apps, APIs, SDKs, or proprietary software products.

Commercially, STEM METS runs a direct-to-consumer model targeting parents of children ages 3-13, generating revenue from group online classes, private at-home sessions, and seasonal camp programs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company claims 10,000+ learners trained, 1,500+ workshops and camps, and 25 awards over 10 years of operation. No management team, funding history, headcount, or revenue figures are disclosed, and the operating footprint remains restricted to Lagos, Nigeria.
