Growing the STEM

Growing the STEM organizes and supports math and science programs for students in Coeur d’Alene Public Schools, with an emphasis on developing youth leaders and encouraging underrepresented groups to pursue STEM education and activities. GTS created and runs the Mathletes Mentor program, which develops student leaders while giving younger students who need extra help a fun and positive experience with math. We also start and lead math competition teams focused on the Northwest’s Math is Cool competition. Our programs utilize student leaders as coaches, with assistance from adult coordinators. Our extracurricular programs are run in partnership with local schools and are open to students of all abilities. They are always free of charge and are supported by generous donations from businesses, organizations, and individuals in our community and beyond.
