Cruces Creatives offers several programs to serve our community in education, economic development, arts, environmental protection, and scientific development.

STEAMM Team
The STEAMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics, and Making) Team offers project-based, educational programs for grade-school level children in Las Cruces, NM.

We currently provide a weekday and Saturday option at Cruces Creatives, and we also lead after-school programs at Alameda, Columbia, Loma Heights, and Conlee elementary schools.

Additionally, throughout the year, we offer summer camps and special STEAMM workshops.

This program is generously supported through New Mexico State University's STEM Outreach.
