Join the Mission
to Empower through STEM
C-STEM is seeking dynamic, engaging educators to lead summer STEM camps for elementary- and middle-school students. Teachers will facilitate hands-on learning using C-STEM curriculum and toolkits, guiding students through engineering challenges, robotics activities, and collaborative problem-solving projects.
Teachers will create an exciting and supportive learning environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and innovation.
In the early 2000s, when founder Dr. Reagan Flowers was working as an educator at Jack Yates High School in Houston, she won a grant from NASA to implement STEM learning in her classroom. Using the engineering principles she learned over the years, Dr. Flowers developed a robotics project that taught students STEM in a fun and collaborative way.
Her students went on to build an extraordinary robot and showcased it at a local robotics competition. While this robot may not have been the prettiest or most advanced on the competition field, building it and competing against students with more resources and exposure to STEM sparked their competitive curiosity and desire to achieve. Her students were inspired and wanted to go deeper into STEM. It was this single opportunity that put Jack Yates High School on the path to create their first official robotics team and put the concept of C-STEM Student and Teacher Support Services in motion.
Our mission is to support teachers in delivering project-based learning that ignites curiosity and teaches Communication + STEM (C-STEM) skills to all students.
We are working to create a world where economically disadvantage students have high quality communication and STEM experiences that catapult them into transformative spaces, creating opportunities for economic and social mobility.
Our aim is to make STEM accessible to all students. We are encouraged everyday by the investments that committed educators and caring donors like you are making in C-STEM to ensure teachers and students alike can boldly engage in the world of STEM.
