Flowers Speaks on Panel About

Earlier this month, C-STEM got to be part of an exciting virtual event featuring the HBO documentary film How To Survive A Pandemic. The film explores the journey to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. President & CEO Dr. Reagan Flowers participated in a panel, discussing clips from the film and the power STEM has to change the world.

“STEM education is vital to the health of our communities,” said 5th Ward Chamber President Bridgette Dorian. “Enhanced knowledge within our schools is important as young minds begin to reflect on future opportunities.

This Month's Highlights

C-STEM Partners with Camps to Help Students Build Skills


Houston students have been putting their Saturdays to good use lately, learning skills like science, carpentry and agriculture. The daylong events were offered by MAN OF SKILL in partnership with C-STEM, and facilitated by the Executive President of Programs Jonathan Russell, Sr. and Program Coordinator Trina Butler. The C-STEM Robotics Prototyping toolkits were generously sponsored by CenterPoint Energy.


“MAN OF SKILL is extremely proud to be a part of C-STEM,” Russell said. “Both programs in operation together are definitely a game changer for inner city children who are looking to expand their skills. This is a revolutionary idea for our communities, and we intend to keep this vision alive here at MAN OF SKILL.” 

Celebrate Sea Turtles with C-STEM

We're passionate about sea turtles here at C-STEM, and the journey to prevent them from becoming extinct. We were thrilled to learn that the world's smallest sea turtle has just been found nesting for the the first time in 75 years.


Sea turtles are a great way for students of all ages to experience STEM. One of our staple C-STEM toolkits combines science and art to build a sea turtle sculpture.
