Stem Competition Trainings

STEM Competition Training provides coaches including teachers, parents, and community members with information about Science Olympiad, Storm the Citadel and the KidWind Challenge. This session is great for those who are interested in getting involved or have competed in the past, as we will go over both basic rules and new improvements. All are invited to join us for a free, virtual, hour-long training. 

Cookies, Cocoa, and Coding

Students and parents are invited to come to The Citadel on a Saturday in December for coding tutorials and yummy treats including cookies, cocoa, and coffee. This FREE event is open to students in grades K-12 and aims to provide students with hands-on computing opportunities. Students will use Code.org’s tutorials in order to practice computer science concepts and skills.
We will have different options this year, in-person and virtual.
