What is STEM Club?
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. My name is Emma Chestnut, and I created STEM Club as part of my Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout could earn. When I entered high school, I realized that not enough young people consider STEM careers as an option for their future. Although some people have heard of STEM before, they may not know what it means and what it is like to be involved in STEM. In fact, I was not aware of STEM until I joined my middle school's Science Olympiad team. So, I created STEM Club so that kids are aware of STEM at a young age. The club is designed to be an hour long after-school club to promote STEM in a fun and engaging way. In the club, teams will work together to accomplish a STEM-oriented goal.
