with STEM Education Organization for Cambodia
STEM Education Organization for Cambodia (STEMEOC) is a locally-registered NGO based in Phnom Penh. Through festivals, programs and events we build STEM communities that excite Cambodia’s youth in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. All our projects align to our core values of Engaged Learning, Environmental Awareness and Gender Equality.
The study of STEM is recognised globally as promoting innovation and critical thinking, and developing high-level problem-solving skills. These skills are in demand worldwide. They are crucial to Cambodia’s continued economic development and are key to tackling the greatest challenges in the world today like improving health and ensuring a sustainable environment.
STEM Education Organization for Cambodia is proud to have the full support of the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and the Ministry of Environment so that together, through a shared passion for STEM, we build a bright future for Cambodia.
