Overview

The South Carolina Coalition for Mathematics & Science (SCCMS) is pleased to offer Duke Energy Science Night resources to K-5 schools in the Duke Energy service area of South Carolina (see map below). The program is now in year 5 for the 2025-2026 school year after four highly successful years since the program launched in 2021. Schools which previously hosted events during SC STEM Education Month found the resources to be a great way to engage students and families in the joy of experiencing science and other STEM learning. 
 
The Duke Energy Foundation will be providing 60 kits for the 2025-2026 school year through an application process that includes a review of school need, demographics, and location. The kit includes hands-on activities, a planning guide, activity instructions and materials for up to 200 participants along with planning guidance from SCCMS staff. School events will be scheduled to coincide with the celebration of SC STEM Education Month 2026 (March 14 – April 14).
If you have questions, please contact the DESN Coordinator by email.
