STEM SC
Through a new partnership with STEM Global Action, CEBA is dedicated to designing and delivering the STEM South Carolina (STEM SC) initiative as part of the University’s mission to enhance educational access to all students for success in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. STEM SC is driven by the belief that everyone in the state of South Carolina deserves access to quality STEM education that inspires, motivates, and lays the foundational vision for a brighter future.
STEM SC recognizes the importance of community-based programs that are both inclusive and focused, aiming to meet individuals where they are and elevate them to new heights of competitiveness and success in life. Through our efforts, we strive to create an environment where every participant can be inspired to explore the wonders of STEM-related fields.
Join us at Clemson University as we embark on this transformative journey, fostering a future where every learner is empowered to succeed in the ever-evolving world of STEM.
