The organization's purpose is to create an environment where all students, especially STEM majors, in particular, can further broaden their scope of education through various forms of literature in order to develop students into more analytical and well-rounded thinkers.

The organization plans on serving as a sort of diversion from the technical classes many STEM students face and become a place where students can read literature for their pleasure, allowing for them to build familiarity with important ideas and themes communicated through literature and add to their intellectual “toolbox”.

This idea of a “STEM book club” stemmed from two University of Maryland students wanting an escape from their course-load consisting of primarily STEM classes such as Physics, Organic Chemistry, and Calculus, and who felt they were missing out on other important aspects of their education. Both founders missed the days of analytical discussions from AP English classes in high school and were keen to create a similar, more casual environment for like-minded students.

Although this organization is primarily catered towards STEM majors, students of all majors are welcome and encouraged to join as a diverse pool of perspectives is integral to any and all productive literary discussions.
