There is no doubt that steemSTEM is at the forefront of promoting steem cryptocurrency with hundreds of quality, original, fun to read as well as scientifically factual Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) articles on the steemit blockchain every week. This would not have been possible without the support of people on the steemit platform who have come together to reward excellence in the interest of steem. Accordingly, steemSTEM has continued to grow in leaps and bounds and even started having offsprings which are also growing.

Introducing STEMng weekly quiz session
The usual Friday night hangout on the STEMng server just got a bit better with the introduction of weekly quiz with SBD/steem up for grabs for the winners. We believe an intellectual exercise would go a long way in fostering engagement within the community – both on discord and in the comment sections of steemit articles. The quiz would be opened to all and the quizmasters would be selected from the winners of the previous week to ensure transparency. The maiden edition of the quiz would be mastered by 
STEMng curation trail and a call for support
Much as the bulk of the support for STEMng authors comes from steemSTEM and its army of allies, the sub-community has also initiated a curation trail using the main account to further garner support and exposure for deserving articles and authors. Currently, 
Thanks to everyone on the platform and the entire steem inc. team for this project and the opportunity given to us to be part of world changers.
