What is STEM?
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math- but it is so much more. Introducing your child to STEM is giving them permission to question everything. To problem-solve creatively. To think outside the box. STEM fields not only teach children about the world, but about how the world works.
STEM is Empowerment. It Should not be a Luxury.
Your child’s education and opportunities should never be dictated by your income or circumstances. Education should not be a luxury, which is why CountryMark provides every Circuit Scout camp at no-cost.
