WHEN IT COMES TO STEM LEARNING, HOW CAN WE HELP ALL YOUNG PEOPLE REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL?

​

STEM Learning Ecosystems provide the architecture for cross-sector learning, offering all young people access to STEM-rich learning environments so they can develop important skills and engagement in science, technology, engineering, and math throughout Pre K-16.

​

Strong STEM Learning Ecosystems feature dynamic collaborations among schools, out-of-school time programs, STEM expert institutions (such as museums, science centers, institutions of higher education and STEM professional associations), the private sector, community-based organizations, youth, and families.
