The Center for Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics - CESTEM - (formerly the Science and Mathematics Education Center - SMEC) at UNCW is committed to regional service and endeavors to stimulate teachers’ intellectual curiosity and increase exposure to current technology. The center is responsible for providing K-12 professional development programming in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). CESTEM applies the resources of UNC Wilmington to improve the teaching and learning of STEM disciplines in the K-12 schools of southeastern North Carolina. The center offers a range of professional development programs in the areas of STEM for pre-service and in-service elementary-, middle-, and high-school teachers, as well as an annual STEM education conference. Through center-sponsored activities, teachers can earn certificates that schools may accept as Continuing Education Units toward their license renewal.
CESTEM operates the Technology Loan Program (TLP), a program that lends science and technology materials and other resources to regional K-16 teachers at no cost for use in their classrooms. CESTEM also hosts annual student STEM competitions for grades 3-12, including the Southeast Regional Science and Engineering Fair, the Wilmington Regional Science Olympiad, and the Regional SeaPerch Competition.
