Theme
This NCLCC Slogan Contest is open to students of its three national organizations to create Slogans that highlight the multifaceted benefits of learning Chinese in today’s K-12 STEMM curriculum in the United States. In addition to the major 21st Century STEMM projects in the Chinese speaking world, there were countless discoveries and innovations in the field of Science, Technology, Engineer, Mathematics and Medicine throughout thousands of years of Chinese history.
