The Illinois Chapter
About us
Free Tutoring + STEAM for All
Equity Learning Illinois Chapter provides free tutoring and accessible STEAM learning opportunities for young students, in person and online.
From math and science support to coding, engineering, 3D printing, and creative technology, we help students learn, explore, create, and grow.
Students move from idea → digital model → real printed object, with mentors beside them along the way.
Why we’re here
Learning should feel open, practical, and possible.
About us
We combine academic support with creative technology so students can strengthen core skills and discover what they can build with them. ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Our Illinois chapter creates welcoming, mentor-led spaces where students can ask questions, experiment, make mistakes, and turn curiosity into something tangible.

PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT
3D Printing Summer Success
In Summer 2026, the Illinois Chapter hosted an eight-week, hands-on 3D printing series at Glenview Public Library for students under age 14.
Participants learned the full creation cycle—from design basics and digital modeling to print preparation, troubleshooting, and final project development.

Showcase
A COMPLETE MAKER EXPERIENCE
From a blank screen to something you can hold.
Students practiced design thinking through real projects: learning modeling tools, refining shapes, preparing files for printing, and seeing their ideas become physical objects.
Build confidence with the tools
Start with approachable modeling basics and guided practice.
Learn by making
Use fun design challenges to strengthen creativity and problem solving.
Finish with an original project
Develop a personal design with mentor feedback and celebrate the final result.
