STEM. Inspire. Empower.

Nafees Innovations is Philadelphia's first biopharmaceutical and bioprocessing STEM education program, serving learners from toddlers through adults. We deliver hands-on curriculum and workshops spanning the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, and environmental sectors. Our work bridges industry-grade science with accessible, real-world learning experiences.

We offer youth Saturday workshops, adult Friday workshops, school and corporate curriculum licensing, mobile workshops, and customized institutional programming. Programs span single-session experiences, multi-week cohorts, and full school-year curricula aligned to NGSS standards. Each offering is rooted in biopharmaceutical and bioprocessing science across pharma, food, cosmetics, and environmental applications.

Schools and organizations book through a direct consultation to scope the program, audience, and delivery format. After scope is confirmed, we issue a formal proposal and agreement outlining deliverables, timeline, and pricing. Once signed, scheduling and onboarding are coordinated directly with the institution's point of contact.

Saturday youth workshops are booked online through our official booking system, with sessions held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month. Each session has a themed focus tied to the monthly curriculum, and seats are limited to preserve hands-on quality. Parents secure a spot by selecting the date, completing registration, and submitting payment at checkout.

Yes, we offer cohort-based programs including our 12-week bioprocessing curriculum and longer school-year tracks for institutional partners. Adult learners can progress through our rotating 10-workshop cycle as a structured pathway. Certificate opportunities are tied to completion of full cohort programs and select corporate or institutional partnerships.

Yes, we host private STEM birthday experiences built around hands-on science themes tailored for kids and teens. Parties are fully customized to the age group, group size, and preferred theme. Booking is handled through a direct inquiry to confirm availability, date, and program scope.

You can book right away as long as seats are still open for the session you want. We strongly recommend booking at least 30 days in advance for groups, schools, and special events to help us properly prepare materials, staffing, and the full experience.

Adult workshops run the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month and rotate through a 10-workshop cycle covering candles, body butter, lip balm, bath bombs, soap, perfume, shampoo, deodorant, sneaker cleaner, and lotion. Each session blends industry-grade formulation science with a take-home product made by the participant. Workshops are structured for professionals, hobbyists, and curious learners with no prior science background required.

Students learn applied biopharmaceutical and bioprocessing concepts through hands-on formulation, experimentation, and product development tied to a monthly theme. Skills include lab safety, scientific method, ingredient chemistry, measurement, and real-world applications across pharma, food, cosmetics, and environmental science. Each workshop reinforces critical thinking, collaboration, and confidence in STEM through age-appropriate, industry-rooted projects.
