what is the chevron STEM zone?
The Chevron STEM Zone is an interactive space where students, teachers and parents learn how science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts connect to everyday life.
Like a discovery museum, the STEM Zone is a hands-on environment. It’s designed to inspire and showcase STEM careers through fun, engaging activities at student learning stations where parents and educators can reinforce the importance of STEM in everyday life.
Because it’s mobile, the STEM Zone travels to multiple events throughout the year, reaching a growing audience and building community relationships.
