introducing Louisiana students to STEM
Since 2012, Chevron has been the proud sponsor of SEEK New Orleans, which has benefited over 1,000 local students.
The Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) program was created by the National Society of Black Engineers to introduce students from underrepresented communities to STEM fields. The free program is proven to increase students’ aptitude in math and science as well as their interest in engineering.
Every year since 2012, more than 30 Chevron employees volunteer at SEEK competitions.
preparing highly skilled doers
Chevron works with Delgado Community College and programs like the Technical Skills Expo and Fab Lab NOLA to help prepare students for STEM-based careers.
bringing STEM to underserved communities
STEM NOLA uses hands-on learning to inspire and engage K-12 students in underserved communities across greater New Orleans.
With Chevron’s support, the nonprofit hosts STEM Saturday, where over 100 children in New Orleans participate alongside Chevron volunteers.
supporting teachers in our communities
Chevron partners with select schools and school boards in four Louisiana parishes where we operate to support professional development for educators in STEM-related subjects.
lafourche parish
Provided high school students the opportunity to pursue certifications that make them more marketable in the oil and gas industry upon graduation.
plaquemines parish
Funded a coding and engineering class as well as a robotics club, giving STEM opportunities to students who might not have access to technology programs.
terrebonne parish
Supported STEM-related activities such as "Operation Spark," which taught students core concepts in computer programming and web development.
st. tammany parish
Provided professional development training sessions that enabled the parish's teachers to better align with Louisiana's new science and math standards.
"These initiatives are a vital part of Chevron’s efforts to give children the foundational skills they need to be successful and help create a pipeline of future scientists and engineers – which in turn supports the community as a whole."
