Can I request the van?
At this point in time, no. Once the STEM Van is fully operational, we have several communities we need to serve first in order to fulfill specific funding requirements.
When will it come to my area?
By Spring 2023, we will have a better idea of when and where the STEM Van will be traveling. Please check back here for updates.
What technology is available?
Currently, we have one large 3D printer, many 3D pens, a life-sized anatomy figure (Ana Tomy) with removable parts, drones, virtual reality headsets, laptops, tablets, electronic telescopes, and our mobile StarLab Planetarium. As funding becomes available, we’ll purchase additional items.
It sounds like you have a lot of technology. How will the other letters of “STEM” be fulfilled?
Our Program Manager has developed a wide range of STEM activities that will fulfill all parts of STEM: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Girl Scouts also has over 35 STEM and financial literacy badges available, which will provide additional programming.
Have you met your fundraising goal?
We have raised over $185,000 for this project, but ongoing funds are always needed. Technology will need to be replaced and vehicle maintenance and fuel costs will be ongoing.
