The NC STEM Center also was created with program providers in mind, providing the means for discovering new partners as well as ways to showcase the STEM opportunities they might be offering. Our web portal allows you to contribute as well as search listings of STEM classes, workshops, camps, shows, and more happening right here in North Carolina.
