STEM Education
STEM education combines science, technology, engineering and mathematics to develop skills in problem solving and critical thinking. Access to STEM education is crucial for career readiness.
The PCE Outreach team is committed to creating positive, hands-on learning experiences for all students. Our goal is to make engineering and computing approachable, exciting, and relevant while giving students opportunities to see themselves as future problem solvers.
For K-12 Students
STEM skills are required in order to be productive and capable members of our nation's society. Engineers and computer scientists are problem solvers with a passion for making the world a better place to live in. They make discoveries and innovations from new medical breakthroughs to cool, earth-saving technologies. A solid foundation of STEM education opens the door to wide opportunities to excel in our lives.
