In celebration of National STEM Day, the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Department of STEM is launching a month-long recruitment initiative to encourage schools across the District to explore establishing chapters of the National STEM Honor Society (NSTEM). The national recognition program celebrates student achievement, fosters leadership, and inspires excellence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Across CPS, students are already demonstrating what STEM excellence looks like in action. From robotics and esports (electronic sports games) to aviation, healthcare, medical sciences, engineering, coding, and STEM-focused student organizations, students are applying critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills to explore new possibilities and prepare for future careers.
