About STEM House
A Community for the Scientifically Minded.
The STEM House is a community of students who are interested in engaging in conversations and activities about Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Mathematics. This includes both those who intend to or are majoring in a STEM-related field as well as those who just love the sciences and want to remain immersed in a culture of like-interested students. The STEM House fosters an environment of curiosity and innovation.

Past Programs
STEM House brought students together to competitively play ping pong with one another. The tournament took place throughout the entire building so that students could visit all floors!
Casino Night was one of STEM’s Fall Events held to bring students together to create relationships and connections. Students played a variety of casino games including black jack and poker (note: no gambling was involved)
