STEM education that reaches everyone.
Philadelphia’s First Bioprocessing STEM Education Program for all
What We Do: We don't do science fair experiments. We do real lab science—pharma, biotech, food, cosmetics—with real tools and real techniques. Youth, teens, and adults walk out saying, "I actually made that."
Our workshops mirror what happens inside research and development labs, giving students a taste of careers they never knew existed. This isn't a simulation. It's the real thing, scaled for learning.
Who We Serve: Toddlers (ages 2–5), elementary students (ages 6–10), middle schoolers (ages 11–15), and adults (18+) through hands-on, fun workshops.
We also serve evening private groups (corporate team bonding, school, and afterschool nights), schools and educational partners, and STEM birthday parties.

About Us
Nafees Innovations exists because I got sick of watching kids "learn science" with worksheets and baking soda volcanoes, then hit college or the workforce completely unprepared for what biotech actually looks like. I'm a bioprocessing scientist from Philly. I built this program to stop lying to students about what lab work is.
We don't do science about products. We teach how products are made. The actual process behind pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food manufacturing, and biotech. Real equipment. Real timing. Real standards. Fast-paced, hands-on, no fluff. Students run the same workflows they'll see in industry, and they learn to think like scientists who have to get it right.
We're the first bioprocessing program in the U.S. built specifically for students. Not watered down, not dumbed down, just real industry work redesigned so young people can actually do it and own it.
What makes Nafees Innovations different
Real bioprocessing. Students learn the true workflow: grow, purify, test, formulate.
Industry-style by design. Clean setups, timed stations, team roles, and a quality mindset.
Fast-paced, no dead time. High-movement, ADHD-friendly sessions that keep students locked in.
Real tools, real standards. Pipetting, measurement, aseptic habits, data thinking, and professionalism. Never watered down.
Built from struggle. Philly-rooted. Globally relevant. Authentic science that connects to real careers and everyday products.
