C-STEM Awarded $25,000 Grant from Howmet Aerospace Foundation for C-STEM Challenge Program

We are thrilled to announce that C-STEM Teacher & Student Support Services, Inc. has been awarded a generous $25,000 grant from the Howmet Aerospace Foundation. This support is crucial for the C-STEM Challenge Program, set to be completed by May 16, 2025, and will significantly contribute to closing the STEM achievement gap for minority and economically disadvantaged students.


The C-STEM Challenge is an innovative, hands-on, project-based learning program designed to inspire K-12 students while providing educators with the necessary tools to deliver high-quality STEM instruction. The program's collaborative and interdisciplinary approach integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) with real-world problem-solving, helping students gain the skills needed to thrive in today's technology-driven world.


Key Strategies for Impact:

  1. Interdisciplinary Curriculum: A STEM curriculum focused on real-world applications to make learning both accessible and engaging for all students.
  2. Teacher Training and Professional Development: Providing educators with CEU's, mentorship, and support to enhance their STEM teaching methods.
  3. Student Engagement and Mentorship: Connecting students with hands-on projects and STEM professionals to nurture their interest in STEM careers.
  4. Community and Industry Partnerships: Collaborating with businesses, universities, and community organizations to create enriching opportunities like internships and student scholarships.

Anticipated Program Growth


With this grant, we anticipate expanding our reach to more schools and districts, enhancing our resource offerings, and creating additional training opportunities for teachers.


We are proud to partner with the Howmet Aerospace Foundation and excited about this grant's positive impact on students, teachers, and communities. Together, we are advancing STEM education and creating pathways for future innovators.
