On September 3, 2024, STEAM & Dream Liberation Labs successfully hosted its Launch Fundraiser at Three City Social Club in Chicago. Founders Scott Tillman-Franklin and Aaron Tillman-Franklin shared their inspiring stories as first-generation college graduates and their mission to close the STEM and healthcare gap for Black and Brown youth.
STEAM & Dream Liberation Labs is a transformative initiative aimed at bridging the STEM exposure gap by empowering students through mentorship, culturally affirming programs, and hands-on projects. Our mission is to close the STEM exposure gap and improve the futures of Black and Brown youth through mentorship and hands-on culturally affirming programming that fosters their STEM identities and empowers them to address real-world challenges with their imagination.
We are excited to announce the launch of two programs in three Chicago schools starting September 16, 2024.

Through our healthcare and technology tracks, 75-85 students from Gary Comer College Prep Middle School, Perspectives IIT Math & Science Academy, and UChicago Woodlawn Charter School will have the opportunity to explore STEM careers in our 10- to 14-week in-school and out-of-school programs. Our goal is to show these students that their dreams in STEM and healthcare are valid and achievable.
