    Why Colorado?

    Colorado is a national leader in energy, technology, and innovation. To keep that momentum, our communities need a strong, diverse STEM workforce. CEEF programs — including STEM kits, classroom resources, scholarships, and academic competitions — prepare students everywhere to fuel the jobs of tomorrow, ensuring Colorado has the talent it needs to thrive.

    STEM learning shouldn’t be limited by geography. That’s why CEEF brings energy education directly into classrooms through STEM kits — affordable, hands-on experiments that make science real and exciting for students. These kits remove barriers, spark curiosity, and can scale into any Colorado classroom.

    This Colorado Gives Day, CEEF is aiming to raise $50,000 to expand STEM access across Colorado. Your gift fuels opportunity — from STEM kits in classrooms to scholarships for future innovators.
