STEM Summer Learning Labs and Academies 2024

The Science and Technology Education Partnership (STEP) was established to bridge the skills gap between our K-12 students and high-technology industry needs. STEP produces its flagship science and technology education event every year, the STEP Conference for students and for educators. 

The first of its kind in the region, this conference serves to ignite the imagination of thousands of students, so that they might pursue promising careers in high-technology fields. It also provides hands-on training to hundreds of K-12 teachers, ensuring they have the latest tools to keep our students competitive in the global marketplace.

The STEM Summer Learning labs are geared for high school students with the goal of inspiring students to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. 

The Riverside County Office of Education is a proud sponsor of the STEP Programs. The STEP programs are an integral part of our STEM Ecosystem.

Each year STEPCon features two separate but complementary conferences: one for students and one for educators: Student STEPCon and Educator STEPCon.

Student STEPCon is the premier student STEM conference in the Inland Empire! Participants can experience hands-on science experiments, interactive technology exhibits and roundtable discussions, an exciting science show, and visit one-on-one with college educators and industry professionals, and enjoy thrilling presentations and demonstrations from a variety of exhibitors. The experience is targeted for 4th grade through 12th grade students.
