STEM Progress® program

Inspiring the next generation of forward thinkers

Helping students explore science, technology, engineering, and math

From innovative products and services to goal setting and people planning, we look to the future in nearly everything we do. That includes getting students to think about careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

Since 2013, hundreds of Progressive people have volunteered for our STEM Progress® program, inspiring more than 30,000 elementary, middle, and high school students across the country. Our volunteers present crash courses that help students better understand how these skills apply to real-life situations and can lead to careers in insurance.

Progressive Parkway

Grades 3-5

Progressive Parkway is a fun and interactive board game, where students are broken into groups and are either on the urban or rural side of the board. They encounter real-life events and then use their addition, subtraction, and graphing skills as they learn about risk and probability.

Space Camp

Grades 3-5

Destination Space Camp teaches basic IT programming concepts by playing a fun board game where students use their algorithmic problem solving, collaboration and critical-thinking skills to program a route to space camp.

Claims Scene Investigation (CSI)

Grades 6-8

In CSI, students take on the role of an Insurance Claims Rep and investigate an intersection accident. Students use their measurement, algebra, data analysis, and critical thinking skills to determine who’s at fault.

Baseball by Numbers

Grades 6-8

In Baseball by Numbers, students use their math and data analysis skills to follow and analyze the stats of MLB players. They then use these skills to analyze how insurance companies use driving-related data to determine risk ratings.

Physics by Accident

Grades 9-12

Students examine an actual accident scenario from two perspectives: physics and insurance. They then learn about basic insurance coverages and how they may protect them from financial loss.

Plan IT, Code IT, Test IT

Grades 9-12

Plan IT, Code IT, Test IT teaches about the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) through a series of hands-on activities and videos.

Pizza Pronto

Grades 9-12

In Pizza Pronto, students learn about usage-based insurance and compete in a web-based driving game where they attempt to deliver pizzas by demonstrating safe driving behaviors. Students collaborate to solve algebra problems to earn tips for their team.
