STEAM Zone Summer Program at the CCCC Siler City Center

In the summer of 2015, a STEAM pilot program was conducted at the Boys and Girls club in Chatham County. After success with the program, it was offered again in the summer of 2016 as an independent program at Wren Memorial Library. The program was later named The STEAM Zone (TSZ) and exists to offer all students, but especially underrepresented groups in STEM, more exposure to STEAM education and disciplines.  TSZ currently offers summer programming and will also begin providing workshops and events throughout the academic school year.  For more information visit the website: http://thesteamzone.org/
