OUR Actions
The Sheflett Memorial STEM Challenge presented by Primis Bank
Named to honor the life and legacy of former Primis chief information officer George “Cody” Sheflett Jr., the STEM Challenge partners female students at regional universities and high schools to challenge them to work together to solve complex problems and present their research to a panel of judges.
Two sessions down, the challenge has proven to be a rewarding experience for these students, giving them a platform to showcase their potential and awarding scholarships for their hard work.
