 What is STEM? STEM stands for Signed Technology, Engineering and Math, but it isn't just those four subjects. STEM includes the cycle and journey of learning, growing, and aiming for success. You know who loves all that stuff? The STEM Scholars at NCSSM. The STEM Scholars Program prepares you and gets you excited about the STEM subjects and the journey of learning. As a 9th grader, you can join this one-of-a-kind cost-free program to develop your foundational skills by participating in awesome elective courses. You'll also have the opportunity to learn from dedicated instructors and you'll come out better prepared for your career choice and life. The STEM Scholars Program at NCSSM helps students in all aspects of science, technology, engineering, and math. It helps to better prepare them to be the leaders of our state, our nation, and the globe and to be the problem solvers of our tomorrow. By the way, my name is Anna, a graduate online student from the NCSSM class of 2020. I'm headed to New York City to attend Columbia University and I sure wish I could have been a STEM scholar when I was in 9th grade. I need to not too late for you.
