STEM INTERNSHIPS
​STEM is a movement in education where teachers and students understand how the academic disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics impact their world and to prepare them for the workforce of tomorrow. At South Metro Scholastic Foundation our goal is to create an environment where students have the ability to practice their craft through internships and partnerships with corporations who are entrenched with STEM.
