STEM Center
Find where you belong as you complete your STEM life at STCC!
Funded by a U.S. Department of Education HSI STEM grant, the STEM Center was created to encourage the study of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We offer services and academic support for all students taking STEM classes, as well as collaborative spaces for group study, tutoring, supplemental instruction, and group meetings. You can succeed in STEM!
Resources & Services
Tutoring
Tutors in various STEM courses are available for virtual one-on-one and group tutoring sessions.
Scheduling an Appointment
Students interested in scheduling an appointment with a STEM Center tutor should schedule an appointment using the link below.
Once an appointment is made, the student and the tutor will receive an email confirmation with the tutor’s name, containing appointment details. A Google calendar reminder will also be sent to the student and the tutor. When the student accepts the reminder by clicking YES, a Google Hangouts link will be available to them in the calendar. Students will use that link to meet up with their assigned tutor during the designated day and time. Students should go to the Online & Digital Resources site to learn more about how to use Google Hangouts.
Becoming a Tutor
Want to improve your skills, help others develop theirs, and earn money while doing both? The STEM Center is seeking students to work with peers one-on-one and in groups. We are hiring tutors for Physics, Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Nutrition, Genetics/ Chemistry, Engineering, Microbiology, JAVA, Computer Science, Math, and more. If interested, please email stemcenter@stcc.edu. Faculty referrals are encouraged and appreciated.
Student Study Lounge
Drop by the student study lounge for a colorful, comfortable place to study and work with others. Students can use the rolling dry erase boards to work out homework problems or work with a partner on one of the computers.
Computer Lab
24 computers are loaded with STEM software, such as Mathematica, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD, for student use. Headphones can be loaned out for use while in the computer lab.
Career Exploration
Curious about what you need to be a STEM major? Do you want to know more about STEM careers? An academic advisor schedules one-on-one meetings and group sessions with students to explore their options.
