Central Tech hosted the 15th annual Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Day at the Drumright campus. It’s a one-day event with activities consisting of math contests, engineering and scientific problem solving, and demonstrations related to STEM.

Fifteen schools attended with approximately 530 high school and middle school students competing. Competitions included five areas of math: middle school math, algebra I & II, geometry, and advanced math, two engineering events—Long Distance Glider and “Pirate’s Escape” Penny Boat. In the biomedical science area, students solved a written scientific problem using teamwork, scientific deductions, and demonstration of the method used.

Winners received medals for first, second, and third places. A sweepstakes honor was awarded to the schools with the most overall points which were: High School—first place Cushing, second place Mannford, and third place Kellyville; Middle School—first place Cleveland, second place Sapulpa, and third place Kellyville.
