Born from Passion. Built to Inspire.
The journey of Stemville began when co-founders Kristin Arneson and Andreea Harrington, both moms, recognized a need for something different in the children’s play space market.They saw an opportunity to bring STEM-based principles into an open play environment, combining engaging activities and exploration with early exposure to science, technology, engineering, and math. The result was an immersive STEM Play Center that proved both joyful for kids and sustainable for operators. Their success in Michigan became the foundation for a replicable national franchise model now ready for growth.
