About us
In the rapidly evolving technological landscape, the need for STEM-educated students has never been more critical. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, STEM occupations are projected to grow by almost 11% in the next decade. As stated in the U.S. Department of Energy’s STEM Education Strategic Plan, “Tomorrow’s workers are today’s learners, and the learning experiences provided to them will directly impact how many decide to pursue STEM careers as well as how ready they will be to do so.” Since 1989, CEF has been working to build this workforce through over 5 million student participants and $250,000 awarded in Challenge scholarships. For 35 years, CEF has been inspiring K-8 students, engaging educators, and strengthening communities through our FREE STEM programs and resources. CEF’s programs uniquely connect business and education in local communities to reach students early in life and ignite a passion for STEM.
