What we’re doing in our communities.
The people of Oklahoma Oil & Natural Gas sponsor a number of events to help students, teachers and the general public learn more about math, science and our industry. We are committed to giving back to the communities we live and work in.
Community STEM Nights.
Working alongside the people of Oklahoma Oil & Natural Gas, these events highlight STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) career opportunities by partnering with organizations, museums and universities. Our goal is to get K-12 kids engaged in STEM and inspired to be future scientists and engineers by bringing free science, technology, engineering and math exhibits to communities all across Oklahoma.
Math and science grants.
In Fiscal Year 2024, nearly $200,000 was given directly to Oklahoma schools and teachers. Each year, the people of Oklahoma Oil & Natural Gas provide math and science grants to schools through various initiatives, including Community STEM Nights, workshops and our Top 20 Teachers award.
Partnering to make a difference.
