CEF in STEM Creating Exciting Futures in STEM by igniting a passion for science in K-8 students through our FREE programs!
(1)

For 35 years, CEF has been inspiring K-8 students, engaging educators, and strengthening communities through our free programs and resources. When it comes to preparing the STEM workforce – those industries relying on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – often the focus is on students in high school and post-secondary education. However, research tells us that if students aren’t ins

pired by science when they are young, it gets increasingly harder to engage them in learning and careers in STEM industries. CEF’s programs uniquely connect business and education in local communities to reach students early in life and ignite a passion for science-related careers.
