Chappaqua PTA Stem Committee

WHO WE ARE
SIX SCHOOLS.  ONE DISTRICT.  EVERY CHILD.  ONE VOICE.

What We Do
We partner with parents, CCSD, and the GLOBAL community to promote and support continued development and improvement of STEM Curriculum, school STEAM infrastructure, after school activities, community STEM organizations and special events.

Provisional Schedules for PTA STEM 20-21


This year will provide all manner of challenges for our community, district and the world at large. Many, if not all, of these challenges will be met by science, knowledge and our ability to adapt.
