Central Tech hosted the 14th 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.

Seventeen schools attended with a approximately 550 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—a ping pong ball launcher and a mousetrap-powered vehicle. 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 Bristow; Middle School—first place Mannford, second place Bristow, and third place Eagle Point Christian Academy in Sapulpa.
