The Duke Energy STEM Science Program, sponsored by 4C and the Duke Energy Foundation, selects eight schools based on their pledge to education, their commitment to quality and their enlistment of a knowledgeable and dedicated teaching faculty. STEM, which stands for: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, is designed to showcase the total process of learning – which allows students in the program the chance to think and experiment first to solve a problem, rather than simply memorizing processes and answers.
