IRS990/Desc0STEM classes: Tortoise Group (TG) is helping augment the current Clark County School District curriculum by offering free STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) before and after school modules for 1st through 5th graders (this is the age group most CCSD principals have identified as neediest).

Math and science are taught to this age group through the lens of the desert tortoise - the classes are informative and educational and give kids an interest in the natural environment around them.
