Background

In 2016, USC Viterbi piloted the Viterbi STEM Schools program. The purpose of the program is to offer partner schools’ students and teachers opportunities for authentic experiences in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The Viterbi STEM Schools program was created to meet the needs of schools who have expressed an interest in collaborating with the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and to make available STEM Center resources, USC facilities, and access to USC students, faculty, staff to Los Angeles area schools.

The partnership allows the K-12 STEM Center and schools to customize offerings to students and teachers in the form of themed-based STEM clubs, school-wide STEM events, and STEM focused Teacher Professional Development.
