NE STEM 4U is a student-run, faculty-advised organization through the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Dr. Cutucache is the founding member and faculty advisor for the NE STEM 4U program. Drs.

We collaborate across departments, colleges, and across the state of Nebraska to provide engaging out of school time STEM activities for youth.
