Since 2002, CSTEM has operated as a non-profit organization providing services to teachers and students in areas of communication, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (CSTEM).  Through action research, CSTEM has developed a program that support and service Pre K-12 pipeline teams, enriching the teaching and learning process for both teachers and students around the world.

The International CSTEM Challenge program is implemented during the academic calendar year in both the formal and informal setting.  CSTEM Pedagogy is transforming schools by creating sustainable STEM cultures that support hands-on project-based learning.  CSTEM students are provided an environment that supports the application of learning in content area courses to solve real-world problems.
 
Students find success with STEM, develop leadership skills, learn how to work successfully on a team, explore and discover career opportunities in STEM, and experience learning outside of their school and home community.  CSTEM is committed to the continued development of our program services to engage students in STEM and creating opportunities that build better futures.
