About the Partnership

At the heart of Drive Into STEM is a powerful collaboration between two organizations that believe in building brighter futures. Central Creativity, an award-winning education enrichment company, has spent years designing hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence, and connect students to real-world opportunities. NAPA , with its unmatched know-how and deep commitment to the communities it serves, understands the urgent need to inspire and prepare the next generation of technicians.

Together, we’re tackling the national shortage of skilled automotive professionals by putting tools of discovery directly in students’ hands. Drive Into STEM empowers learners of all ages to see themselves as problem-solvers, innovators, and future leaders in the automotive industry.

This exciting program launches on November 8, National STEM Day—a nationwide celebration of curiosity, innovation, and the future workforce. On this day, thousands of students will take the wheel of discovery through the Saltwater Car Challenge, driving home the message that STEM is for everyone, everywhere.
