Our Story

The Connecticut STEM Foundation, Inc. is an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Our mission is to foster interest among all Connecticut high school students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) by providing experiences for them to present their original research and interact with like-minded students and professionals.

In addition to sponsoring the Connecticut STEM Fair each year, the CT STEM Foundation has supported advanced teacher training, has held some extraordinary events for students to see the practical application of science via field trips and lectures, and has two scholarship programs: one for high school seniors participating in the current annual Fair and a second for undergraduate students who need financial help to participate in a summer STEM program..
