In March, 2016, J-STEM completed the first session of Sunday classes at Northwestern's Center for Talent Development, and it has surpassed all expectations.  Over the past year and half, Sunday classes have been offered  every session, and J-STEM has helped subsidize the tuition for Jewish day school students from across the Chicago area.
