The kinSTEM Conference is designed to provide a space for STEM communities to gather, reflect, and grow. Rather than define a single path, the goals remain open to interpretation, allowing participants to bring their own meanings, experiences, and questions into the space. Registration is required for all participants. Spots are limited. 

The conference aims to:

  • Create opportunities for students in STEM or Indigenous related studies to share their research and experiences.
  • Support the development of kinship-based networks that nurture academic, personal, and professional connections.
  • Offer moments to learn and reflect on the historical, political, and ethical dimensions of STEM through Indigenous perspectives and lived experiences.
  • Encourage collective imagining of futures in STEM that are rooted in care, community, and responsibility.


This event is open to all eligible persons regardless of race, color, or national origin. Reasonable accommodations are available upon request. Please contact the Native American House at nah@illinois.edu.
